A few on this forum suffer from two common technophobe syndromes:
1. Reading a post literally; and
2. Reading a post from the point of view of their mindframe, not the poster's mindframe.
You will see this approach by some over and over again... Add to this an attempt to always have the last word and some of these threads needlessly gain girth!
The common ground to this thread is that Quicken 2007 for Lion/Mt. Lion is probably the best (a relative term) financial software available to run natively on a Mac (leaving aside the negativity that many have against Intuit for their continued poor treatment of Mac users).
Is that the be-all, end-all answer to the question?
Of course not! Many still prefer to run Quicken for Windows on their Mac, which has a more robust set of features available to them (but not necessarily all Quicken users, many of whom do not need the full set of features).
How to run Quicken for Windows on a Mac? There are, of course, many different ways to achieve this solution: Bootcamp, virtualization, accessing a Windows PC with screen sharing, etc.
All of these approaches are correct and should be considered by those who face this problem, so as to tailor a solution to their particular use and needs.
Poorly criticising one approach over another can be based upon the responder's specific needs and experience and not the needs of the poster!
And when running Windows, it is folly to think that ALL users would run Windows SOLELY to run Quicken.
Once you have access to Windows on a Mac (and have paid the price to be able to do so), of course, there are other reasons than Quicken to run Windows on your Mac: games, AnyDVD, video editing tools, etc.
So, yes: please have a great day! 🙂
