The first effort failed to get out of development the second effort was the under-powered Quicken Essentials for Mac. They decided Mac users wanted a more Mac-like experience, and they tried building a new Quicken experience which was more like then newly-popular Mint. At that time, the then-Intuit programmers had the option to try to make a new Quicken Mac interoperable with Quicken Windows, but they chose not to. As you're likely aware, the original Quicken for Mac reached a dead end in 2007 due to major changes in the Mac operating system and the retirement of many features which were integral to the program. Second, it's always possible, but it's highly unlikely that Quicken Mac and Windows will be re-written to have the same features and use an interchangeable data file. This website is their sandbox, and you're recommending people not use their product and use a competitor, so they will probably censor your comment. The Tax Guy First, it's likely that your post will be deleted or edited by one of the Quicken moderators.
