From what I can tell most, if not all of the programming was outsourced to the sub-continent and they really dropped the ball. I was a beta tester pre-launch and what is being sold is stores now is really a beta version. They did not listen to their "inner circle" and released it anyway. I think more than half the users requested a refund.
Many of us hopped that the Mac side would get some of the features that the PC side has/had but instead they gave us a piece of garbage. Intuit has neglected Quicken for Mac for years and tried to pull a rabbit out of their hat but failed miserably. The irony kicks in when you realize the CEO of Intuit is on the board of directors for Apple
Furthermore Quicken seems to be trying to find other ways to charge users for upgrades and services that were previously free.
