The reviews for this product when it released were horrible. Quicken Essentials: this product (even with their discount) is an over-priced downgrade from the Quicken 2007 product.Ideally, the migration path from a legacy application should be to another product in the portfolio.Īccording to the TUAW article, customers were sent an e-mail (which, if I got it, must have gone to my spam folder) with two options: I work for a technology company and I’ll be the last to throw stones at a company that makes a decision about the economic feasibility of “legacy” applications.īut it’s not a roadmap when it goes into a brick wall. Nobody, myself included, expects for a company to support old code forever. It’s older than some of my friends’ kids. Y’know, where people moved beyond the concept of money and I didn’t have to track my finances…īut alas, we don’t.
If only we lived in the Star Trek: The Next Generation world (see “ The Neutral Zone“). My blog reader will recall the issue I had with Intuit Quicken 2007 (as documented here, here and here) and I suppose it was no surprise when I read on the The Unofficial Apple Website (TUAW) that, “ Quicken won’t run on Lion: 10 Mac finance apps that will.” Snow Leopard weeded out most of the incompatible apps when they pulled the Power (legacy) code from the core operating system, but since they did have the emulator (Rosetta) I didn’t quite know for sure if Lion would be a slam dunk or a face plant.
#Quicken essentials for mac won't open mac os x
The next version of the Mac OS X operating system, Lion, is here!Īs a part of the “pre-flight” checklist for any operating system upgrade, users should take an inventory of their applications and determine if there are any incompatibilities that need to be fixed prior to the migration. It just makes for a fun and salacious headline. * I still do not have any evidence that they hate puppies.
