Sucked back in

A while back (a year to be exact), I wrote a little rant about Quicken and their decision to end-of-life support for versions 2004 and earlier. By end-of-life, I don't mean they won't take tech support calls; I mean they will cease the ability to download transactions for Quicken 2004. I wrote then there would be no way I would stick with a company who would treat their customers so horribly. When I saw a deal earlier this year for MS Money 2007 for free, I jumped on it. My plan to extricate myself from the grasps of Quicken was in full swing. I was feeling free ... running through a field ... sunshine warming my face ... wait a second ... is this a feminine products commercial? Anyway, I was so excited right up to the point I began to use this pile of unintuitive, interface hell. I also, when installing, noticed this cute little message that said I would basically get support for my product for 2 years and thats it. On top of this, the import of data worked decently, but there were a few bugs that caused accounts to be severely out of whack. My list of problems with Money goes on and on. In the end, it struck me that I was changing to a product whose support was less then offered by Quicken and had an interface that makes me cringe every time I looked at it. *sigh* Just when I thought I was free, I get thrown back into the dungeon.
