I gather Quicken has abandoned the XG version for Canada and is using
the same name as in the US.

Does anyone know if the US and Canadian versions are the same? (Once
upon a time they were the same with a single click during the
installation process to select the version.)

Thanks
peter

I don't think so. Why do you think that?

They're not the same.

It may have been that simple to install either country version,
but I don't recall the two country versions ever being the same
(unless it was before my time; say around Q2000, US).

Home and Business replaces XG as per:

http://quicken.intuit.ca/personal-finance-software/whats-new.jsp

Just looking at the Intuit website, I don't see much difference between
XG 2007 and HB 2008 and will likely pass on this year's update.

Sorry, didn't notice you were only commenting on the name.

As far as I know, XG was always the Canadian equivalent of H&B.
So, yes, though the two programs (Canadian and US) have
important differences under the hood, it does appear they will
now share the same name.

Back when I started using Quicken, likely about 1992/3, there was only
one software package for Canada and the US.... at installation time
you had to select a radio button for Canada or US. Once installed,
versions could not be changed.

So, we now have a name change to the product to make it the same as
the US.

If anyone has installed, pls let me know if Quicken has returned to
the old model or still selling unique products.

thanks
Peter
