So if you buy a new Mac in late 2011, or if you upgrade your Mac to Lion, you won’t even be able to launch Quicken anymore. I have confirmed this information with two different Intuit representatives, who told me that Quicken for Mac has reached “end of life”, meaning that there will be no future updates to this product. If all of this wasn’t bad enough, Intuit’s latest assault on Mac users is that Quicken 2007 for Mac will not run under Apple’s newest operating system, Lion (Mac OS X 10.7), and they have no plans on updating this product for Lion compatibility. (As an Apple shareholder myself, I have voted against Bill Campbell every single year, and I highly urge all other Apple shareholders to do what they can to kick this guy off the board as well.) (Mac users forgave Intuit when they begrudgingly came back with lackluster updates for these products years later.) And forget the fact that Intuit’s former CEO Bill Campbell has sat on Apple’s Board of Directors since 1997, yet Apple shareholders have mindlessly allowed this jerk to sit on the board for 14 years while he continued to stab Mac users in the back every chance he could get.

Forget the fact that Intuit had already abandoned Mac users twice in the past - first by discontinuing Quicken for Mac in 1997 and then discontinuing QuickBooks for Mac in 2003. Forget the fact that Intuit has worked overtime to make sure that their Mac & Windows products would never be cross-platform compatible (this is an internal corporate rule at Intuit).

But I am still trying to figure out the answer to the question of why Intuit has proactively taken more steps than any other software company to undermine Mac users worldwide and to try to diminish the legitimacy of Apple’s operating systems, despite the fact that Apple is now the largest technology company on earth.Įven though we now live in the glorious age of Apple’s technology renaissance when longtime-PC companies (such as AutoDesk) are actively embracing Mac OS X and iOS, Intuit has astonishingly decided to turn it back on Mac users more strongly than ever before.įorget the fact that Intuit’s Mac products have always paled in comparison to their Windows counterparts by missing 90% of the features that Windows users have long enjoyed. Intuit, the company behind Quicken and QuickBooks, has shown such contempt towards Mac users for almost 30 years that I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that their disrespect continues stronger than ever in the year 2011.

(Maupdate: Quicken is now available for Lion! I’ve downloaded this and I’ve used every single feature of it over the last week, and it works perfectly for me! I am a very happy camper! Also, it is much MUCH faster than the previous version of Quicken! Hip hip hooray! 🙂 As we all know, Intuit is a company that can NOT be trusted at all.) We’ll see if this actually comes to fruition or not.

it’s not really the full commitment that we wanted to see from Intuit, but at least our 6-year-old version of Quicken will still continue to run under Lion. (Februupdate: Intuit has announced that they will be making a Lion-compatible version of Quicken 2007 in spring of 2012. However, VMWare closed this loophole with the release of VMWare Fusion 4.1.1.)

(Decemupdate: For a brief time, you were able to run Quicken 2007 for Mac on a Lion machine using VMWare Fusion 4.1 running Snow Leopard.
