"Something for anyone new to Quicken. Not much for Quicken vets."
Pros: It's prettier than its predecessor.
Cons: This is primarily a cosmetic upgrade with few, if any, substantive new features.
Summary: With the release of its '07 version, Quicken seems to have fallen back to just going through the motions, knowing that it's expected to produce an annual product upgrade but not really spending a lot of time & effort doing it. As a result, Quicken 2007, while giving users new to Quicken a good, stable way to manage their personal finances, gives its existing users nothing more than some cosmetic changes. The home screen's new , there are new financial institutions whose data can be downloaded into Quicken, attaching documents to register transactions has been improved and the program loads a bit faster. Otherwise, there's not much and certainly not enough to warrent paying $70 - $90 to upgrade an existing Quicken 2006 or 2005 installation.
Intuit doesn't often publish "dot releases." If it did, Quicken 2007 would be more accurately named Quicken 2006.5.

As a long time Quicken user (1991), I find Quicken to be a fantastic program for managing your finances. Anyone who doesn't have Quicken should get it and use it. The 2007 release is packed with features, unfortunately if you have the 2006 version the 2007 version will not provide much in the way of new features. For a new user I would give it a 10. For an owner of the 2006 version, I would give a 4. Not much reason to upgrade. I have to agree with this commentor.

Thanks for taking time to comment. I was about to pay $59 at Costco for the 2007 upgrade from 2005. 2005 works great and if only cosmetic upgrades are being offered, then I'm happy with what we have.

Nice review. I'd go one step further, though.
My own experience suggests that upgrading Quicken every 7-8 years makes sense. Intuit expects no one to upgrade every year, or even every 2-3 years. The competition with Money, however, forces them to produce a new version every year in order to keep attracting new customers. The folks who might consider sending them $$ for an upgrade this year are not those using the 2005 or 2006 versions, but people using Quicken 2000. -
Then uninstall Quicken, do your finances by hand and write checks and mail them. Geez this program is a winner. Cry Cry Cry...This program has been on my computer since the first Quicken. It is hands down the best financial package for personal finances. Nuff Said....

Quicken is notoriously unstable, especially the new releases. Is this version stable, or at least relatively stable?
