I wimped out and ordered the "new" version. I am afraid that the news may really be worse than reported in Ed's column. For example, Intuit does not tell you that in upgrading to the new program that your data files become unusable should you decide to resume with the old program. From reading the product description on Intuit's webpage, several of the features on Quicken Deluxe 2001 may have evaporated as a means of forcing you to upgrade to the "Premier" version. Quicken 2001, when it is reinstalled, requires an "update", I assume that your ability to reinstall an old version of Quicken will also disappear. Additionally, the program seems of have evolved into a means to deliver advertising to you AND to encourage you to subscribe on a fee basis for "other services". What is also irritating about all of this is that you have a working program where Intuit is maliciously spending program resources, time, and money to stop your program from working.
