I have Quicken that I really like and that is the main reason I have stayed with Windows XP . Haven't found a comparable free program like it.

I haven't needed to upgrade to Vista or 7 for anything.
There is a Linux program called Wine. It is an Application Layer Gateway. Wine Is Not an Emulator. (wine... get it) I run several legacy apps in wine it works fine. Quicken is on the list of Apps. You can also run Windows XP in a Vbox inside Linux and run Quicken that way. That's how I run Macromedia Freehand and Corel Draw.
