Now Financial Life has disappeared and Quicken for Mac has reappeared. Issue 5: Intuit is dumbing down Quicken for Mac to Financial Life, but wait, no they have backtracked again. You need Rosetta to run it on your intel Mac. Issue 4: Quicken for Mac 2007 is not a universal binary. (I am not 100% sure of the details here, but this seems to be what is happening). Issue 3: Even if you decide you don't want to use any download features of the program, but just download your own qfx files from your bank and import the data into Quicken, Quicken will still try to connect to their own servers to see if you bank has paid them the 'Quicken Tax.' If your bank has not paid the quicken tax for Mac downloads, Quicken will not let you import the file you downloaded yourself.
Issue 2: Quicken forces you to update at regular intervals if you wish to use any of the download features. You cannot just update on one platform then move the data across to the other. You have to export your windows data file a particular way before you import it into Quicken for Mac.
Issue 1: Intuit uses different data formats for the two platforms. There are several issues here, not the least of which is how Intuit treats it Mac customers.
