More than likely I'll end up sticking with Parallels & Windows Quicken. I'll certainly look at the new Quicken product when it comes out this fall, but without investment capability it'll be useless.
It just chaps me that after a 2 year gap their new product will have LESS features than the already feature-challenged old Mac product. Sounds like they've got one guy sitting in a closet somewhere working about 20% of his time on this program. I used to be pissed at Adobe for taking so long to get a UB Photoshop Elements out, but at least the upcoming PE6 for Mac looks to be a full-featured program and worth the wait. The only word I can use to describe Intuit's "effort" is LAME.

Agreed, wholly. I planned to buy Money 2008 last weekend, but we did a demo and it seems identical to my current Money 2003 -- it's like everyone went Rip Van Winkle on their finance programs. So my wife told me to hold off, and we'll evaluate the new Quicken when it comes out this Fall.
I'm still waiting to learn what they mean by no investment features. I can't imagine that even a basic personal finance program couldn't track car loans, home mortgages, 401k, CD, and mutual funds. Those are just basic. So if it lacks individual-stock tracking, I'm ok. But if it can't do what I consider fundamental things, it's out and we're staying with the Parallels solution for a while longer.
