Find out what people are saying about Quicken Premier 2008.

I just loaded the new version 2008 and it was a no hassle installation and my initial opinion of the new version is all positive.

Richard Whittaker

The new program version 2008 looks GREAT! I like the way you put the tabs on top.

David Gross

I really like the way Quicken handles my scheduled transactions, always reminding me of when items are due. Also the ability to schedule and pay future bills, to make sure everything is paid on time when I am traveling and not at home to receive bills in the mail. Keeps me from ever having over due or late bill payments.

Laura Bowles

I really like the addition of the check mark to any item in the check register that is or contains a tax related item. Great reminder and notification tool.

Leonard Cravath

Quicken Premier makes the management of my assets and liabilities truly point and click. No complicated formulas, spreadsheets or reports. Just synchronize with my bank and investment accounts, and Quicken does the rest for me.

John Wilson

I love being able to turn on and off the account listing (which I have on the left) to go to full screen while looking at data in the center
