<title>Building The Perfect Beast : More On Quicken Financial Life For Mac</title>
<link>http://www.reyespoint.com/?p=1882#IDComment15413744</link>
<description>Thanks for answering my request for a screenshot of the ledger, Jeffrey. I downloaded the beta last night thinking that if it was stable enough, I&amp;#039;d simply move everything over to it while waiting for the final product. Obviously, it&amp;#039;s simply not ready yet. And I really have to wonder if it will be ready by the summer, but we&amp;#039;ll see.   Also, after playing with it a bit, and downloading my actual finances into it, I wonder if the new &amp;quot;iTunes-like&amp;quot; interface is really an advantage. I understand what you mean about how stringent Quicken could be, but could this not have been fixed with the older version? I use Quicken on the Mac daily, and somehow the new version &amp;quot;feels&amp;quot; like a lesser product. I know they&amp;#039;ve built it from the ground up, and that&amp;#039;s the thing--it feels very much like a 1.0 application, kind of like what iWork Pages was like in v. 1.   At the same time, it might just be my human tendency to not like something new and different. But usually I&amp;#039;m not that way when it comes to software, so it makes me wonder if the software itself isn&amp;#039;t lacking. If I do upgrade (and I probably will since I&amp;#039;m using Quicken 2006 currently, and am one of those customers who likes Quicken and doesn&amp;#039;t really complain about it much), I will probably wait six months so that any major kinks can get worked out. Losing one&amp;#039;s financial data is not the same as losing a word document. I&amp;#039;ll want to have more than faith before I leap. </description>
