Quicken 2011 for Mac in App Store?
Thanks

Does anyone remember that in 2000, iIntuit announced to discontinue Quicken for Mac. But due to user outcry and apple infusion on I think $20mm, Quicken for Mac was saved. We need that same loud cry from the public and Apple to force their hands. I too do not like Quicken Essentials. Too many things it doesn't do that old versions did. My 2006 version runs just fine on all Mac OS X systems.
I recently read an article somewhere (Macworld?) explaining some of this. It said a lot of the code in Quicken is very old and written for PowerPC, and isn't going to be rewritten for Intel because it's too much trouble apparently.
Don't hold your breath waiting for change. For many, many years, the Chairman and Former CEO of Intuit, Bill Campbell, has been on the Board of Directors of Apple. You'd think Steve Jobs sits at the same table as Bill Campbell during board meetings. Yet the long existence of that relationship has had no effect on improving Intuit products for the Mac.
Try Quickbooks 2011. I found the best deal on the Amazon downloads store a couple of months ago and have been running it without issues. There are regular, large updates to address issues. I expect to use this version for at least a few years without the annual upgrades they like to implement.
