Quicken Home and Business 2007 - "Scarce Half Made Up" Tom Watson 08-14-2006

(Of course, the reference is to Richard III, Act I, Scene I.)

I have been using Quicken since I have been using Windows, dating back
to 3.1. Prior to that I used CPm and a checkbook.

This past weekend I purchased a copy of QH&B2007, with the intent to
make a seamless transition from my QH&b2003.

I was somewhat disappointed.

It is amazing to me that the online manual will not be available until
September 1, on a shrinkwrap product that is already available in
stores. What were they thinking?

The update feature is buggy.

The screens are far more confusing than what a decent GUI designer
would accept.

The inability to undo an action is ridiculous.

I can't tell you how happy I was when I got my first version of
Quicken. It was simple and elegant.

This version is so much more accomplished but, as is the case with
some gifted children, it has great difficulty communicating its
genius.

I will work through it.

I would have liked some help from the online manual.

They tell me that these problems are market driven...am I not part of
the market?

Just venting, you understand, this too shall pass.


Regards,

Tom Watson
