Editorial Review:
With Intuit Quicken 2001 Deluxe, it really is possible to have a paperless home office, as long as you have Internet access--and, of course, you make sure to file your financial documents in another room of the house.
Intuit's latest release of the popular personal-finance/home-business software breaks new ground in its tighter integration of the Web-based services at Quicken.com, with its hard-drive-based number-crunching software. College-planning calculators, 401(k) advice, and home-purchase calculators all are summoned by a click on a tab in the software--and a swift launch of your Web browser.
"So, what," you say? "I can find those financial calculators anywhere online, not just at Quicken.com"? Well, the best aspect of all of this Web-enabling is the amount of typing that it saves you at the front end. The biggest hurdle to starting with any of these home-finance programs has been that you've got to input the data from your bank statements, checkbook, and ATM slips by hand to get any real sense of your finances. Thanks to the broadened online account- access capability of the new Quicken 2001 Deluxe, and an online bank account, you can download all of that information from your bank, and import it to your Quicken application.
By the same token, you can make transfers and payments over the Internet by using your Quicken software, or export your stock portfolio information to a secure area of Quicken.com, so as to benefit from online stock updates and other investor information.
Intuit also has worked to make Quicken 2001 Deluxe more cohesive internally--you can perform global find-and-replace operations, instead of jumping from file to file, hoping for answers. You can set Quicken to notify you of tax deadlines and upcoming bills, as well as when the software itself is about to need updating. It's also a little easier to set up the program to track those transactions of yours that are tax-deductible.
This version for Macintosh is not perfect, by any means, although it's closer to its PC counterpart in terms of functionality. Mac users now get preset access to more banks than in previous versions, but not as many as would make online banking setup a breeze. To take advantage of the new online/offline leverage that Quicken 2001 Deluxe promises, it's best to have a fast connection to the Internet, and be at peace with the fact that some amount of real-world setup still is necessary to make this software sing online. --Elizabeth Aoki

Rating:  - seems fine but won't open my bank's downloads
I haven't actually used it because that's what I wanted it to do. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to manually entering the data.
Rating: - Okay...but could be better.
I have owned this product for quite a while, and this piece of software is okay for the basic consumer who just wants to balance their checkbook. I have yet to explore the other features such as stocks and other stuff, etc. There are some major faults in this program. The program should have a link to TurboTax Deluxe, and the pertinent entries should be able to be communicated to TurboTax and vice versa. Additionally, the interface is a little primitive, even for Mac OS 9. Admittedly, Intuit ... Read More
Rating:  - Shockingly bad
I used Turbo Tax, so I didn't think my transition to Quicken 2001 would be so hard. It has been impossible! There's no walking you through entries like with Turbo Tax. If you don't know what the program wants when it asks for some obscure accounting term, you have to switch to a buggy pdf file for answers, and those answers are useless if you can find them. The program is buggy. There's no way to use anything other than M$ Explorer every time the program wants to take you to a browser. And as expensive ... Read More
Rating: - Quicken refund comes through
An update: Intuit has come through with a full refund after my Quicken Deluxe 2001 for Macintosh failed to create any reports (see review below). So, my final review: Customer Service: 5 stars. Product Usefulness for me: 0 stars. Overall Rating: 3 stars.
Rating:  - Intuit makes good on rebate ... but serious problems remain
I said I would update my posting if Intuit made good on their rebate offer, and now they have done so. I received a nice letter from Intuit saying they had seen my review at Amazon.com, and that I would be receiving a rebate shortly. The $20 check came today.
BUT -- I've run into some fatal errors in attempting to use my 2001 Deluxe for Macintosh. Essentially, I have been completely unable to produce any kind of a report whatsoever. As you can imagine, after entering months worth of data, being unable ... Read More
