You've made a good case for Intuit's policy, however, it does not reflect my
experience with Quicken 2003.
I've been using Quicken since, at least, version 4 (1994) . I can't find any
earlier software.

Quicken 2003 is the worst "update" I have ever seen. Quicken 2003 has been a
total disappointment though performance of Quicken 2002 was quite
staisfactory on my computer.

My  two attempts to use the Quicken chat room were unsatisfactory. In my
first chat some suggestions were made which I tried to no avail.

In my second chat the Quicken person was not familiar with Quicken 2003's
menu and could not help me. He did suggest I call 520-618-7140. My call left
me hanging to a silent dead line for an extended period.

Quicken takes 70 seconds to display my check register. I have not yet
figured out how to have the program open with my check register as the
opening page.

The mouse pointer does not reflect the status of the program. The program
may be busy but there is no clue from the mouse pointer.

These are only two of the deficiencies I see.

At this stage I'm only looking for one thing. That is an admission by Intuit
that there is a problem and that they are working on it.

I will make another attempt to revert to Quicken 2002 by use of the QIF
export feature. If I'm successful I will try to get my money back and use
the refund for competing software.
