Please log in for more thread options I'm a long term Money user, currently employing MS2007. Late last
year I went so far as to purchase Q2007. After using both in parallel
for a while, I've gone back to Money mainly because Quicken does not
incorporate scheduled bill payments into the budget; instead you have
to manually reinter them or have Quicken generate a budget from your
actuals, but I don't like the inaccuracies of that approach.
