Quicken 2008 == Quicken 2007 == Quicken 2006

Why it's always this way.... add more "feature" and paid (see vista)

Based on the few reviews I have seen of Quicken 2008, it doesn’t appear to have many new features that compel me to replace Quicken 2006. I usually upgrade every other year or so anyway. I have used Quicken since 1999 and have found it to be an invaluable tool to track my spending and manage my finances. Each upgrade I have found it to be a little more improved, but doesn't always translate into functional or a better quality product. I will usually spring for the Premier version as it has better investing functions. So I guess I will hold on to my $ and not upgrade this year.
