In my opinion after three years, Q2004 doesn't need ongoing support
for downloads.
According to their notice "Discontinuing older versions of Quicken
enables Intuit to focus resources on enhancing its products and
providing support for more current versions, which are used by most
Quicken customers.". BS. I think my Q2004 works fine as it is.
It doesn't surprise me that they need $$$$ to continue my level of
support. I feel that they should put a yearly fee on the ability to
keep using my current functionality. A figure of $25 per year would be
reasonable. Adding small incremental updates with this charge would
allow them to reduce development costs. No developers + $ = gravy
money!
The major difference I see in the yearly versions is fancy reports
that I couldn't care about less. The online downloads is the important
feature to me. If I didn't want them I would still be on Q98.
