Quicken 2008?

Ok, I upgraded my Quicken from 2006 Deluxe to 2008 Premium. I do this mainly to get access to new and better stock tracking tools.

  • I feel ripped off.
  • 2008 is slower
  • 2008 doesn’t appear to have anything in it that 2006 didn’t already have.
  • 2008 fonts are larger and I can’t find a way to make them smaller
  • 2008 wastes screen real estate for no reason I can figure out.
  • News story updates still don’t work.

A newby to Quicken will probably like the new look and feel, it feels easier and simpler. I’ve been using Quicken since 1990 – heck, I can probably find a text-only DOS version laying around here that does what I need.
