I am also running the Windows version of Quicken on my Mac via Parallels. It works like a charm.

I tried Mint.com today but there are several of our investments that don't support the type of auto-connection that Mint uses for its downloads. I was really disappointed because the register download and budgeting feature was more automated and intuitive than Quicken.
I recently upgraded to Quicken 2011, so guess will stick with it until Mint comes up to speed.

Horrible reviews usually come from the people who first buy the software and get the bugs out for people like me. I wait until it's almost time for the new year release, then buy the previous year with the bugs fixed at half the price. I'll upgrade every 3 years when they force you to.
I just upgraded to Quicken 2011. Works fine. I could see how someone who doesn't know what they're doing might not like it, but I wouldn't personally view that as the program's fault. My data dates back to the mid 1990s.
Question is, will it convert your year 2000 data? If i had to guess with no knowledge to go on, I'd say the chances are slim.
