64 Bit Version (+1 Merged Vote)

Then if they do a rewrite, they will most likely raise the price.

Which I had never updated to the annual renewal version, I just automatically updated every 5 years and it said since I had Deluxe I could keep on using without renewing. Well that is true, but it not very usable with all the ads taking up space telling you to renew! Not nice!

Quicken could just sell me a version right before the annual subscription started and just make it a lower price. I use none of the online feature, no longer use any investments- nothing that takes all the resources and new code keeping up with financial institutions.

A good time to have started and done a rewrite of Quicken to make more efficient would have been a point in time when they planned all these new features that many of us don't use. The only thing I use other than recording registers entries is saving goals for projects I work on, but they were in there back in the DOS age. In other words, stop adding features and sell that old version. Have another version totally rewritten designed better to add all the new bells and whistles.

As the years go by the issue compounds because Microsoft Windows will eventually drop 32-bit emulation for one reason or another. I doubt the foundational code base Quicken 32-bit relies on is being maintained, too. Microsoft killed off 16-bit emulation at some point - it's factual to presume the same fate awaits 32-bit emulation.

The 32-bit nomenclature that "you won't notice a difference with 64 vs. 32" has merits in isolation but mostly it is disingenuous. 64-bit Windows apps run more reliably on 64-bit Windows compared to 32-bit - it has to be by it's very nature and OS architecture. "Compatibility" features introduces latency, fact, always has, always will.
