It hasn't been that long ago that Intuit was looking for a buyer for Quicken and could not find anyone interested in taking over their 34 year old code base which had become so creaky and full of patches it was too expensive for them to maintain or enhance. Last year HIG Financial Services, a Miami based private equity fund, agreed to take it on and that is where the ownership lies today. Where the MacUpdate offering is coming from is a question I would want answered before I recommend investing $75.
