So it\u2019s been a few years, and I decided to upgrade to Quicken 2007 the other day. I\u2019ve been really keeping on top of my finances, and I wanted to be sure that I had the best software I could get for this kind of thing. Unfortunately, Quicken 2007 for Mac is pretty darned lame.<\/p>\n
Now, just as a Mac application, it\u2019s bad enough. It seems as though it hasn\u2019t really<\/strong> been updated for five or ten years. It feels like a \u201cclassic\u201d app, meaning it was written for the old school Mac OS, and was just given a quick change of clothes and some makeup to get it working in OS X. But that\u2019s a terrible shame, because it shows. It feels clunky and it looks ugly.<\/p>\n Even worse, I\u2019ve used Quicken 2007 for Windows. It\u2019s better. It has many more features, looks like it\u2019s been cared for, and it seems more stable. Sure, there\u2019s a few Mac-specific perks that are missing, like .Mac sync\u2019ing and the new dashboard widget. But come on, that doesn\u2019t hold up to all the features you get in the Windows version. Just look on Amazon, where its average rating is somewhere between one and two stars. Not good.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now I know PC\u2019s are far, far more popular than Macs. But I seriously doubt the Windows version would be that much better if Microsoft didn\u2019t have Money competing with it. A little competition is a good thing! Because there\u2019s no serious competition on the Mac platform, the innovation just isn\u2019t there. Intuit has gotten lazy. I\u2019d love to see Apple do what Microsoft did and make a decent competitor on the Mac platform. If nothing else, I bet Quicken 2008 would be a whole lot better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Quicken 2007 for Windows is a win, but for Mac loses out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9236,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[18],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/t-v\/The_Apple_Mouse.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1845"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1845\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9236"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/needmoredesigns.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
