Quicken rant update
I'm not the only one unhappy with Intuit's plan to disable older versions of Quicken. This article on BoingBoing strikes a similar tone. It goes on to say that Intuit charges substantial licensing fees to financial institutions to provide support for Quicken. The plot thickens.
As I said in my other post, the main reason I continue to use Quicken is to synch with PocketQuicken. I really like PocketQuicken but it looks like there may be a good alternative. I found a similar product called Ultrasoft Money that synchs with Microsoft Money in the same way. The reviews for Ultrasoft Money are very positive. Microsoft Money compares very favorably to Quicken; besting Quicken in some recent reviews. Maybe it's time to consider a change.
