Alex Sep 16, 2009 4:12 PM GMT I am going to build a site and sell it for a load of money!!! Mint is awesome. Intuit will not change it for fear of loosing a loyal customer base.

Jestep Sep 16, 2009 1:23 AM GMT Chock up another just canceled mint.com account. Intuit is the definition of an evil empire. Quickbooks has a goliath (walmart'ish) monopoly and I wont support their garbage software. This sucks!

doc Sep 15, 2009 10:20 PM GMT Well, upon seeing this, I canceled my mint.com account. I used to use Quicken, and found myself very unhappy with the Quicken user experience and even more so with Intuit's business policy of crippling installed licensed copies of Quicken every few years to force upgrades. I simply won't do business with them - there are alternatives.

Henry Albrecht (Limeade) Sep 15, 2009 5:41 PM GMT Refreshing to see some aggressive movement from Intuit in this space. They have had some big flop acquisitions, but remember the bulk of their revenue comes from acquired businesses that they then apply great management and user focus to. (TurboTax, QuickBooks, etc...)

peter Sep 15, 2009 3:29 PM GMT I quit Quicken Online a couple of months ago and switched to Mint because Mint's so infinitely superior.I hope Mint's technology doesn't get bogged down with outdated suggestions from its new parent company. I hope Mint doesn't become a camel; a race-horse built by a committee.

Paul Sep 15, 2009 2:16 PM GMT After reading this page my question is who and what does this company representative? It appears that they are in the precicous metals area. I am rather confused. Does this company trade on the NYSE? Maybe buying this company would be a good addition to ones portfolio. Pleae in future articles reveal more information about your company.

UnkleJac Sep 15, 2009 1:15 PM GMT "The desktop version of Quicken isn't going anywhere any time soon," says Patzer.That's for damn sure. It hasn't gone anywhere for years. It appears the thinking that ruined Tobias' MYM got Quicken some years ago.

Jim Sep 15, 2009 1:07 PM GMT I haven't upgraded my version of Quicken in years as each new release gets more complicated and includes more useless features. The forced upgrades in order to continue to use the banking data upload feature is simply a way to gaurantee new revenue since the vast majority of new functionality is useless. My friends that do occasionally upgrade haven't had anything good to say about Quicken in years.

c0c0c0 Sep 15, 2009 12:46 PM GMT This broke my heart. That such a forward looking company should succumb to a company who's contempt for their customers is legendary is simply demoralizing. With the recent demise of MS Money, this bad actor further illustrates the pitfalls of a product segment with no viable competitors.
