CheckFree and Quicken: yet one more time: a statement from CheckFree

CNET staff
Despite my previously stated reluctance to post anymore about the CheckFree matter, I am making an exception. Here is a statement from Gustavo Machado (communicated on behalf of CheckFree Corp.):

"To clear up any confusion regarding the migration of CheckFree supported Macintosh versions of Quicken to Quicken 98, following is a review of the actual cut-over and any customer implications:

  1. CheckFree decided to migrate all Quicken Macintosh users to Quicken 98 to enhance customer care and technical support.
  2. To minimize customer impact, and provide the enhanced features and functionality of Quicken 98 at no cost, a free copy of Quicken 98 was mailed to EACH Mac user with complete installation and QuickStart guides.
  3. ALL Quicken 98 bill payment users will continue to enjoy complete customer and technical support through CheckFree.
  4. As indicated in the package, ALL payment processing will also continue to be conducted by CheckFree, through a new entity called Intuit Online Payment. (Note: CheckFree purchased Intuit's payment processing system in 1996.)"
