Mac Quicken 2010 will support migration of data from Windows Quicken

There's a new blog posting on the Quicken site about our favorite vaporware, the new version of Quicken for the Mac. The big news on this posting is that the new version of Quicken will support importing data from Quicken for Windows. This seems to be a much requested feature out there - there are a lot of PC-to-Mac switchers out there who are keeping an old PC around or running VMware so that they can keep running Quicken under Windows.

I think the bigger reason many people are still running Quicken under Windows is that Quicken for the Mac is a big ball of hurt. It remains to be seen whether the new Quicken for the Mac has the bugs worked out and key features of our Windows counterpart, or if the development team is still focusing on fully integrating cover flow into the Quicken interface.
