After an extensive test of my first IMac, (5 days), and deciding that I liked it, I am going to replace my wife's PC with a Mac Mini. She is not a techie and all she uses her PC for is business accounting with Quicken 2000. Believe it or not, she is using a 1996 IBM 300 GL with Win 98 that has never had a problem and still doesn't (They made computers to last in those days.)
Since Mac Quicken looks just like PC Quicken (at least in all the googling I have done) she shouldn't have too much problem with a new system. Apparently it is virtually impossible to import an account from PC Quicken to Mac Quicken, but the new year is about to start so that isn't a problem. She will just start a fresh account.
However, in my researching, there is a vast number of users who are dissatisfied with the Mac version of Quicken. I know that most people who post are the ones who have had problems, but in this case the dissatisfaction percentage seems to be overwhelming. I can still use the PC Quicken with Parallels if needed (at least everyone I have talked to has said there will be no problem) but I would rather just move entirely to OSX. Don't really want to support XP or other bloatware anymore. Especially since my last Windows experience was at least 8 or 9 years ago.
Anybody got any experience with Mac Quicken?
Thanks
