Crossover Gets Quicken

Posted by Hemos on from the sweet-sweet-quicken dept.

Jeremy White writes: "involved with the Wine project 4 years ago, a major personal goal for me was to switch my wife's computer to Linux. But there was a simple caveat: "No Quicken, No Linux." As of today, CrossOver Office now supports Quicken (and my wife was beta tester #1 *grin*). The new version, 1.2.0, also supports Visio and fixes a raft of bugs. The press release is at Codeweavers and a review can be found here. " I've got a similar situation - been running Quicken for the last ten years, and have only one data section lost, so this is pretty darn cool. And it freakin' works.

    What a fucking idiot.

    ...you were forced to keep track of your accouting via a picture of a check on the screen (which I found insulting).

    So use the register list instead. It lets you type the transaction directly into it. WOW THAT WAS HARD.

    Their feature which lessened data entry keystrokes by auto-completing vendor names assumed that I always spent exactly $10.47 at the grocery store, thus forcing me to increase the number of keystrokes.

    Uh, dumb-ass, you just TYPE OVER THE OLD AMOUNT. It clears it out for you. No extra keystrokes, yet keystrokes are saved for transactions that are the same every month.

    There was so much swearing that first day

    If you're too stupid for Quicken, you're too stupid for anything.
