Here’s some info from the Setup Guide that I gleaned from one of the reviews. While Intuit claim that “this is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for, ” it appears they’ve paid too much attention to form, without focusing on function. Unfortunately, the early reviews on Amazon are abysmal, averaging 1.5 stars on over 100 reviews. “Built from the ground up for Mac, the 2010 Edition delivers the intuitive ease of use and clean, modern look you’ve come to expect from a Mac application.” The new software runs natively on an Intel chip (requires MacOS X 10.5+) and the interface has been completely re-designed to make it more user-friendly. On the surface, this update sounds great. Quicken Essentials was actually released back in February, but I somehow missed the announcement.
I just received a mailer yesterday announcing the arrival of Quicken Essentials for Mac, which is the long-awaited update to Quicken 2007 for Mac.
