For the record, I have 2 Linux boxes and 2 Macs (MBP & mini) at home, plus my wife and I each have a Thinkpad running XP for work. And I run a Parallels VM for Quicken on my Mac. I'm agnostic. Best of breed. BTW, I'm a Java developer at work, so I guess that agnosticism is somewhat predictable.

Well reasoned and articulate as always, Peter.

I'm just trying to resist being seduced. The Tuttle-Family CIO is always spouting off about not having the resources to support two platforms

Why? Do you think someone's already made an iPhone app for it?


If not, soon.

Bingo. That's exactly how I feel. Best tool for the job.

A Java developer? Sorry to hear that. ;\) I had a few bad experiences with Java in college. Scarred me for life. ;\)

I also like VirtualBox for running VM versions of Windows and Linux. And it's free.


I have used VirtualBox in Linux (to run XP). I was quite impressed. I didn't know they had an OSX version. I see that they do, in beta right now. Very cool.

I will definitely check that out. Thanks!


Yeah, the OSX version is quite fast. On my Macbook Core Duo 2GHz I have Parallels 4.0 with an XP build on my local drive. I ran VirtualBox w/ Windows 7 on an external USB HDD. It ran FASTER than XP on Parallels. Nice, though that may be due mostly to Win7.

Funny. I pretty much use Parallels just to run Quicken. The Mac version is horrible and I tell that weekly to my friend from Intuit...

Apparently the beta for the new Quicken for Mac is out but he wasn't sure if it used the same file format as the Windows version. I would had to translate my Windows version to Mac. I tried years ago and that was a nightmare...

I read in the FAQ it wouldn't import from Windows, and it seems to be missing a few things, esp. compared to Home & Business. And the wait continues...

Yeah, well, I'm scarred too ;\) , but it pays the bills.

Bummer to hear that Quicken hasn't gotten any better. That thing's a hunk of junk on the Mac.

I did some work on the back end supporting Intuit at their booth at Macworld one year, and boy, did they get some dirty looks and tough questions.

Yeah, unfortunately, sounds like Intuit's pretty much abandoning stand alone packages in favor of their online services. However, I don't like putting any of my financial info on the web.
