Dirty Pool..

It seems that Quicken users are los­ing some online func­tion­al­ity. Boing­Bo­ing reports:

Quicken dis­ables the soft­ware you paid for to force paid upgrades
Norvy sez, “I bought Quicken 2002 when it was the cur­rent ver­sion. I received a let­ter in the mail this week telling me that Intuit will be dis­abling the online bill pay fea­ture for my ver­sion because it’s too old!

Me is pissed. It seems that they’re also retir­ing the QIF file format with another one, which means that if my bank con­verts, I’ll have to buy the latest ver­sion of the soft­ware to remain com­pat­ible.
