Intuit: Quicken 2007 "Lion-Compatible" by Spring 2012

[obafgkm]

I just received an email from Intuit:

Dear Quicken Mac Customer:

As a fellow Mac fan and customer, I wanted to personally introduce myself, and share some highlights of our Apple-related efforts with you.

I recently became General Manager of the Personal Finance Group at Intuit, responsible for Quicken and Mint.com. Intuit's 25 years of leadership in personal financial management software makes me excited to lead this team and I am committed to creating products to help you reach your financial goals.

I recognize, however, that we have not always delivered on this promise to Quicken Mac customers.

As you may know, Quicken for Mac 2007 does not currently work on Apple's latest operating system, Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). I understand the frustration this may have caused you and have put a team in place to address this issue. I am happy to announce that we will have a solution that makes Quicken 2007 for Mac "Lion-compatible" by early spring. There are still details to be worked out, so I ask your continued patience as we work through these. In the meantime, you can find more information on our Mac FAQ page.

Working toward a Quicken for Mac 2007 solution is just a first step in winning back your confidence.

We are expanding our development team to continue our renewed focus on personal finance solutions that suit the needs of our Mac customers. As we develop solutions, we'll be looking to you and the rest of our Mac customers for ideas and feedback.

I understand we have a way to go, but I wanted to start by communicating our commitment to Mac and look forward to sharing the details with you as they emerge.

Thank you for your continued loyalty to Quicken.

Sincerely,

Aaron Forth
General Manager, Intuit Personal Finance Group

I'll believe it when I see it, and may still wait until a true brand-new Quicken for Mac with all the bells and whistles that our Windows friends enjoy comes out.

Screw Intuit and Quicken

They lost me as a customer for good

I gave up on Quicken 2007 and switched to Quicken Essentials. I haven't updated the quicken2007 database since I switched to Lion. Essentials is good enough for me.

I agree. I use their TurboTax products, but I refuse to use a product from 2007. It didn't track investments well, and Quicken Essentials doesn't track them at all from what I understand.

Really love iBank.

I am using iBank as well
Screw Intuit and Quicken
Their arrogant treatment of the Mac user base is unforgivable
Whatever they do at this point is too little too late for me
