No yet, but according to this: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ it should
work PROVIDED you install Rosetta. I will be trying it on my machine
later today.

And, if it doesn't work, no worry, we can start pre-ordering the next
version in October with a release in February. At least that's what
Intuit has said. And, they wouldn't mislead us, would they?

But the next Mac version of Quicken reportedly lacks a major feature:
registers for investment accounts. So, it will be impossible to
reconcile investment account statements, calculate returns, and monitor
investment income - not to mention all the transaction history that will
be lost.

Actually I was not being entirely serious. In fact, I will believe
Intuit has issued a new version of Quicken for Mac when they do. Their
history, to date, in keeping deadlines is not inspiring.

As to investment accounts, the last version of the beta software, that I
saw, did show signs of handling investment accounts. As to what is
currently in the software is unclear since I haven't seen a current beta
and I suspect very few people have. But, in my view, if they do not
provide for investment accounts, Intuit shouldn't even bother.

Quicken 2007 runs for me on my system.

You need to remember to install Rosetta; its one fo the customized
choices at the very beginning of the upgrade.
