BillPay is more of a US thing - I'm in the UK, everything's direct debit here anyway. It's not a feature that means anything to me. My use of Quicken is simplistic - given a pile of transactions, where did the money go, what's the figure going to look like at the end of the month, and how am I doing in terms of budget. That's it, and Essentials looked like it had all that. If it doesn't have the account graph in calendar mode though, then I'm probably not using it as that's what I look at. Would be nice if there was some kind of downloadable trial really, but I can't see one. Cheers, Ian

It was so different from the Quicken I'm used to that I couldn't even figure out how to use it -- and I've been using Quicken Windows for about 16 years. |
