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.

    I think my mum might even be pleased. The press release says "full support for QuickBooks will be forthcoming in the near future". After that I'll have everything my mother needs.

    I've been slowly drawing my mother over to Linux. I'm using it and say "Mum come and look at this". And I show her this feature (the updated weather icon in gnome) or that feature, and she says "Can I do that?". So I reply "Sorry mum, you're using windows."

    Perhaps soon I'll be able to switch her over at work. She needs quicken and quickbooks for her work since we send that file format off to the accountant.
