This move comes after years of hemming and hawing on Intuit’s part over the future of Quicken on the Mac. (Intuit has a full FAQ available on the ins and out of opening files from prior programs.) This differs from how Essentials handled data it would convert earlier Quicken files, stripping potentially important information in the process. In a move that I’m sure will bring joy to most users who attempted to muscle their way through Quicken Essentials after being 2007 stalwarts, open means just that-open, not convert. This version will open data files from Quicken 2005 through 2007, as well as from Quicken Essentials. Though Intuit is suggesting that new customers purchase Quicken Essentials for Mac, it looks like it would be theoretically possible to just purchase Quicken 2007, though Macworld has yet to personally test that theory. The software available is actually a full program, rather than an update to Quicken 2007 itself, and costs $15 for a download or a shipped software CD. If you’ve been waiting to make the jump to OS X Lion or Mountain Lion because of incompatible finance software, Thursday may be your lucky day: As first reported by MacRumors, Intuit has released a new, Intel-compatible version of Quicken 2007.
