We recommend installing Previews on non-production devices that are not business critical because you are more likely to experience crashes, setting and policy changes, loss of data or apps, feature and functionality changes, cause other apps to stop working, be updated, or removed from your device automatically without notice and other potential issues. Because Previews may contain more errors or inaccuracies, you should back-up your device before installing any Previews. In some instances, you may not be able to go back to your prior version of the Software. To recover, you may have to reinstall your apps, the operating system or re-flash your device. In some instances, Previews may even inadvertently damage your device rendering it inoperable or cause occasional crashes, data loss or apps to stop working or be deleted. Previews are experimental, which means that Previews may not operate correctly and may be substantially different from the commercially released version.

You may use Previews only up to the Software’s expiration date (if any) and so long as you comply with the applicable Windows License Terms. Microsoft may make preview, insider, beta or other pre-release versions of the Software (“Previews”) available to you.

Intuit is also still preparing to release its iPhone app that accesses Quicken Online data, as I wrote in December.

It's unclear to me that Intuit's history will translate into market share in this competitive market. But while Intuit Online is a solid service, the online competitors keep getting better, too. In a market with free (and very good) competitors, there was just no reason to pay for Quicken Online. When I last covered Quicken Online in December 2007, my biggest complaint was its price. The company is still selling, as completely separate products, software versions of Quicken. Intuit has finally dropped the subscription fee on Quicken Online, its Web-based financial software that competes with Mint, Geezeo, Buxfer, and Wesabe.
