I'm still using the 2005 edition. There's little reason for me to pay FULL PRICE for an upgrade every year, and it takes that long for the cumulative new features to justify the investment. <b>Intuit's upgrade policy is the worst in the consumer software industry, bar none.</b> It's not even close. I know of no other consumer-oriented software vendor who charges FULL PRICE for upgrades year after year, release after release.

If they offered a $29-39 upgrade instead of a $60-70 full price upgrade each year, I'd probably upgrade each year.

One feature of 2007 I like is the Quick Entry widget. I loved the QuickEntry feature of older versions of Quicken for Mac and I was very disappointed at its removal. This is a spiffy and convenient feature, but not worth $60 by itself.

My recommendation is based on new users (or people using releases prior to about 2005) and my experiences using the software. I haven't had the problems many are reporting. But that upgrade policy is still brutal, and I will not be buying the 2007 version. We'll see what new features are in Quicken 2008. If they are compelling OR if they introduce upgrade pricing (fat chance), I'll buy; otherwise, I'll sit that one out, too.
