Well, I don't see any must have features over 2008. I will certainly wait
until the comments come in and the first revision is out, and maybe I'll
try Turbotax this year rather than TaxAct, if the incentive for a combo is
good enough.

Wow - from the 'new features' tab, I must admit this 2009 product indeed
looks lame. The only thing I personally see of interest in the new bill
payment reminder feature. However, the way I use scheduled transaction
groups, this too seems a little redundant - and in fact, with scheduled
transactions going into the register at future dates (I use the 'PRINT' type
to remind me to 'pay' upcoming transactions even though I don't physically
print them. Then, once I do, I undo the 'print' transaction type indicating
I took care of it), I am not sure what this will buy me. Hopefully it
integrates into cash flow and such so that I can use this facility instead.

Of course, it isn't really fair to complain about something we haven't seen
yet, so this comment is more a 'wish list' item! So we'll see.

Thanks to the OP for providing the link.

That's been my impression as well.

In other words, what in the world have they been doing for the past year?
