The new Home and Business Quicken 2008 version Rocks, This will be the first edition I jump into actual Budgeting and planning for both Home and Business with the inception of Business tags. This will make my life much easier with this function. And personally since I can tag transactions now between Check cards in my checking account it will be easier to allocate expense to various projects, within that checking account.

Harold Vance

I have found Quicken 2008 Home and Business to be the best financial software I have used. I have used Quicken for over 15 years and find all other financial software don't come close to providing the features of Quicken. Great job again this year. The transfer of data was flawless and I have not found a bug yet.

Anthony DiLeonardo,

As a graduate student, having the ability to manage accounts that I no longer have direct access to (for example, the bank by my parents which is 1200 miles away) is vital to managing my finances. Furthermore, I can keep track of everything I charge on my credit cards and categorize those charges so I know where my money is going and if someone other than myself is using my card number as well. It is so simple with the one-step update through Quicken. Each day I perform the one-step update thus allowing me to know my overall financial picture. Amazing!

Sarah Hull

I was happy to see quicken 2008 convert all 50,000 items correctly and relatively quickly. Thanks!

Charles Gambol

The new Savings Plan in Quicken is AWESOME!

 Marley Kunzler

The enhancement of the Account Bar makes a great feature even better.
