Created this page, culling some content from Intuit and inspired by the format of QuickBooks. There seems to be consensus at Talk:Intuit that some of Intuit's products are notable in of themselves, namely this one at the least. Article certainly can use further references, but have strived to make in neutral and avoid some of the debates over whether the article is considered advertising.Cander0000 (talk) 20:15, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vast array of features....

I've removed this phrase as it's subjective - 'vast' in comparison with what ? CultureDrone (talk) 06:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Software -- for what kinds of computer?

I came here to find out what Quicken is. I found out it is personal finance software. The article leaves out the rather important detail of what kind of computer this software is supposed to run on. A visit to the Quicken site reveals that.... it isn't specified. However, given that there is a Mac version in beta development, perhaps we can assume that Quicken normally only runs on Windows? And that it doesn't run on Linux or anything else?

It would be useful to have that kind of basic information in the article instead of assuming that "computer software = Windows software".

[edit] Mac version in Beta?

The article currently says the MacOS version is in Beta. The Mac version has been around for some time, but it is the Quicken Financial Life for Mac that is in Beta. ^[1][2]66.191.19.68 (talk) 17:27, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
