It may have been on sale in Germany for some time now, but the (American)
About.com reporter who posted a write-up on July 28, 2007 says:
"I will be getting a chance to see Quicken 2008 in action next week but I do
not know if it will release before that date or just after."

So Quicken 2008 should be on sale in the USA any day now.

If you goto froogle.com or shopper.com and search Quicken 2008 many
small stores online are taking pre-orders and many show an expected a
shipping date between 8-10-07 and 8-15-07. So I assume Intuit will
offically release it on 8-10-07. Alot of major retailers have also
removed Quicken 2007 from there web page which is another indication
that Quicken 2008 ship date is any day now last year some retailers
were selling Quicken 2006 after Quicken 2007 shipped.

Good catch!

I just called Provantage, they are taking pre-orders and you can see it
listed on sale on their Financial software page at:
http://www.provantage.com/financial~66FINAN_0.htm
(scroll to about the middle of that page to see Quicken 2008 on sale in text
links)

They said that they have a "non-guranteed" ship date of "mid-August".

Looks like this week or next it will be released.
