I had resigned myself to going the dual-boot route with a partition for Snow Leopard and another for Lion.

I'd love to have a modern user interface, but the flawless import and comparable reporting capabilities trump, for me, the user interface. I'd love to stop supporting Intuit in any manner in the light of their continuous slighting of the Mac community-with the latest insult being the release last year of Quicken Essentials as representing their response to the long-standing need for a modern program from them. For me, 'suitable' meant one that would flawlessly import my 20+ years of Quicken data and provide me comparable reporting capabilities. I have held off moving from Snow Leopard to Lion as I never did find a suitable substitute for my Quicken 2007 for Mac which doesn't run under Lion in the absence of Rosetta in Lion. “ Follow-up to Finding a Replacement for Quicken,” 20 September 2011 “ Finding a Replacement for Quicken,” 5 August 2011 “ Intuit Reminds Quicken Users of Lion Danger,” 6 July 2011 The first explains Intuit’s notions about how to deal with a lack of a Lion-compatible version, and the other two suggest how you would go about finding a replacement for Quicken. We’ve written three articles about Quicken and Lion this year. Perhaps this announcement marks a notable change of heart for Intuit, but we are still talking about merely making the 2007 version compatible with the version of Mac OS X released in 2011. And even then, a number of commenters expressed long-standing frustration with Intuit’s lackluster support for the Mac versions of its products. Of course, for those who have already switched to another financial application, Intuit’s announcement is too little, too late. I’m running Snow Leopard Server in VMware Fusion to maintain access to Quicken 2007, since I haven’t yet found a replacement that meets my personal and small-business needs with the right mix of recording and reporting. This is great news for those who rely on Quicken and haven’t been able to find a Lion-compatible replacement. (Importing those data files into Quicken Essentials for Mac requires 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier, as noted in a now-outdated FAQ.) Interestingly, Intuit will also let you convert Quicken Essentials for Mac data files to work with the Lion-compatible version of Quicken for Mac 2007. The company has posted a FAQ about the “Lion Compatible Quicken for Mac 2007.” You will be able to convert data files created in Quicken for Mac 2005, 2006, and 2007 editions with the Lion-compatible version while booted into Lion. There are still details to be worked out, so I ask your continued patience as we work through these. I am happy to announce that we will have a solution that makes Quicken 2007 for Mac “Lion-compatible” by early spring. Instead, Intuit’s Aaron Forth, the general manager for the personal finance group, signed a letter (not available online) that reads in part: Quicken for Mac 2007 and earlier versions were engineered for PowerPC-based systems, and require the Rosetta compatibility layer to run, which Apple neither updated for nor includes with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

When an unexpected email from Intuit sent to all Quicken for Mac customers landed in my inbox, I assumed it was more warnings about avoiding an upgrade to Lion or discounts off other Intuit products to which I could migrate.
