so what the hell is up with quicken mac 2008. first intuit says that they are waiting for leopard to ship, and now nearly 6 months and two point releases later, still nothing. does intuit think that we forgot about it? wtf?

and before we all go on this silly little tangent about how much quicken mac sux when compared to the windows counterpart... we already know that, so please stay on point. i don't want to have to log onto another machine, or vmware/parallels/boot camp my way into windows, and i definately do not plan on having a dedicated machine just to pay my friggen bills. i use and mac, and i want quicken on it.

so back to my point... where the hell is my quicken 08?!?!?!

I was wondering myself, too.

OTOH, Quicken 2007 is running fine, I'm not sure I'd even upgrade. What killer features does Q2008 promise ?

MacRumors has info from MWSF and says it's expected in fall 2008 which probably means 2009.

I just hope this means that it will import from PC files just fine. Highly unlikely though.

Well, there's always Moneydance. What I don't understand is: 1) Why Quicken doesn't provide live two-way syncing of your transactions online in real time? and 2) Why is it so hard for two Macs to work on the same Quicken datafile (e.g., on a home network)?
