 Works exactly as the 2000 version. Perfect for Windows 7. May 14, 2010
Kenny

For those of you die hards, still hanging onto the 2000 version, I have written this review for you. I have used the old Quicken 2000 for 10 years. I have used that same version from Windows 98, to Millenium, to XP. The old 2000 version does not work with Windows 7. The new Quicken 2010 version DOES!
I use Quicken to manage my check book, savings, and print checks. I do not interface it with any of the online bank services, mortgage, loan or investment information. If you are planning on using Quicken for those purposes, you may want to look into the Deluxe version, and read the user reviews first.
Here is what I did:
First, I copied the old version of Quicken 2000, to my new Windows 7 computer, in the C:\Quicken folder.
Second, I purchased the download version of Quicken 2010. On high speed, it took about 10 minutes to download.
Third, I ran the Setup file. Quicken found the old data from 2000, and imported it into 2010.
Fourth, I immediately made a backup.
Finally, I did a printer setup, and did a test to make sure I could print checks.
That was it. About a 1/2 hour invested into the process. The layout is a bit simpler to navigate than the 2000 version.
The only glitch I found was that you can only import the old data once, as far as I could tell. Make sure you make a backup right away, after importing the old data.
This version is a glorified checkbook... perfect for what I need.

I was a user of Quicken 2007 Deluxe. I liked it well enough but I did not use most of the features. I was peeved from the start when notified as I was trying to update my account balances that Quicken was no longer allowing this with 2007. What a crock! I had bought the program not rented it! So I go and get the basic starter edition only to find out after I downloaded it that I can not import my account info from the old version because I was downgrading.
No thanks Quicken. You just lost a customer. I'll find a free version somewhere to track my accounts.
Not Worth 1 Star! April 19, 2010

Buyer BEWARE!
Who would bundle a program with Turbo Tax that claims to be a new edition when in reality it is a NEW program! Quicken 2010 Starter is not compatible with anything previous Quicken Deluxe users have. Instead Intuit forces you to go to their website and purchase an upgrade to allow you to use your previous version data. They won't even let you run the program, instead shutting it down, unless you agree to start from scratch. Shame on YOU Intuit. Time to uninstall and reinstall my Deluxe 2008.
What were they thinking???
 Still quirky software April 11, 2010

I switched from Quicken to MS Money 5 years ago because of Quicken's quirky problems and now I have been forced back because of MS Money's exit from the scene. It appears that in 5 years the Quicken software is still quirky with many sporadic irritating problems requiring daily seat-of-the-pants corrections. Their recent programming effort seems to have been directed at childish colorful displays and multitudes of reporting rather than correcting operational issues. The One Step Update is riddled with problems; doesn't function with all the banks that MS Money does, either locks up or takes several minutes to download your bank's transactions and then maybe only a single account from a bank having multiple accounts (requiring additional download button actions). Once logged on and registered, the registry screen continues to display every time Quicken is used. Inconsistant display errors occur at random so can't be tracked for correction. And forget about bringing across your MS Money account information I got about 20% and then hand entered the rest. I'd gladly switch to another vendor if finances allowed, they couldn't be much worse.
Absolutely unethical behavior!!! Don't buy this software!! April 11, 2010

The software hangs when I try to open my existing quicken file, I finally got around the problem by allowing the silly (not the work I would like to use!!) software to create a new file and then opening my old file. Just when I think m travels through Intuit h*** are over the software complains that I cannot use my existing data file because it was last saved using Quicken Deluxe.
The software forces you to upgrade via their website for an additional $30 for a total of $55 (25+30)!!! I could have bought the deluxe version online for $42 if I had known I was trapped into using the deluxe version.
This is absolutely unethical behavior!!! Can't wait to dump this worthless program.
No way to provide direct feedback to Amazon because it was a digital download. Ridiculous.

| Worthwhile Reading | Myths and Realities about Working Longer
Alicia H. Munnell and Steven Sass. 2008. “Working Longer: The Solution to the Retirement Income Challenge.” Washington, DC: Brookings Institution Press.
For more information, contact Andrew Eschtruth at 617-552-1729 or eschtrut@bc.edu.
Myth: Given the growing retirement income challenge, people will have to work forever.
Reality: If individuals worked full time until at least 66, they could enjoy a long and financially secure retirement, with incomes one-third higher than if they retired at 62.
Myth: Older workers will choose to work longer on their own.
Reality: Most people retire as soon as benefits are available at age 62.
Myth: As baby boomers approach retirement, employers will embrace older workers.
Reality: Many employers are lukewarm toward retaining older workers due to concerns that they cost too much, lack current skills, and don’t plan to stick around long.
Myth: Employers will quickly change their tune in response to labor shortages.
Reality: Many employers with a high proportion of older workers are in declining industries. Others can tap global labor markets.
Myth: Older workers have little to offer employers.
Reality: Older workers often have advantages over younger workers — including higher productivity, better judgment, a stronger work ethic, and better people skills.
Myth: Phased retirement — shifting to part-time employment with a career employer — is the solution for keeping people in the workforce longer.
Reality: Many firms are reluctant to offer phased retirement due to concerns over which workers would be eligible, health insurance costs, and part-time schedules.
Myth: Most workers can work longer by remaining with their career employer.
Reality: Career employment is declining fast — only 44 percent of male workers age 58-62 are still with their age-50 employer, down from 70 percent two decades ago.
Myth: The working longer prescription is the answer for everyone.
Reality: While today’s older workers are generally healthier and better educated, up to a third could be hard pressed to work into their mid-60s due to poor health or job prospects.
Myth: Government cannot do much to encourage longer work lives.
Reality: Raising Social Securitys earliest eligibility age of 62 could push back the work-retirement divide by changing the mindset of both workers and employers.
Myth: Eliminating mandatory retirement removed a major barrier to working longer.
Reality: Mandatory retirement could actually promote longer work lives by providing both employers and workers clear expectations about when careers end.
