Macworld's Quicken Essentials 1.1 Coverage

  • Intuit Quicken Essentials 1.1 Intuit's new personal finance application is a good beginning, but lacks the tools to make it truly essential.
  • Quicken 2007 and Lion will play nice for $15 If you've been waiting to make the jump to OS X Lion or Mountain Lion because of incompatible finance software, Thursday may be your lucky day: Intuit has released a new, Intel-compatible version of Quicken 2007.
  • Quicken 2007 to arrive for Lion after all... eventually Lion has its fair share of both converts and critics, but none so unhappy as those left in the cold with programs which no longer open in Mac OS X 10.7. Now, it seems that Quicken users may once again be able to use their crippled software, according to an email and a support document from Intuit.
  • Quicken Essentials update cashes in on criticism Personal finance app has been redesigned for more intuitive Mac use, and makes it easier for users to download and export financial data.
  • Mac money managers An overview of personal finance tools for the desktop, iPhone, and Web.
  • Quicken Essentials to gain file protection, export, and price refund Intuit wants to demonstrate its commitment to the Mac platform and to listening to its customers. So on Friday it laid out a feature roadmap for Quicken Essentials for Mac, lowered the price, and will issue refunds for the difference to existing customers.
  • First Look: Quicken Essentials for Mac Rob Griffiths spent a couple days with Quicken Essentials for Mac, and offers his first impressions of the latest financial management package from Intuit.
