I must say that I think you're being quite unreasonable in your reaction.

It wasn't Crossover Office that decided to stop supporting Quicken 2004, it 
was Intuit. And it wasn't Crossover Office that decided to stop using Quicken 
2004, it was your financial institution. And your Quicken 2004 program itself 
will still work just fine under CO, except that your financial institution no 
longer supports to it. 

And even though CO is working on adding a new program, Quicken 2007, to CO, 
you're complaining because it's not done already!

I can still use CO to run Quicken 2002 on my computer. No, I don't try to 
connect to a financial institution online with it. I have GnuCash. Programs 
like CO should be used to transition from crappy Windows programs to 
alternatives that don't try to hold you up every year or two for a "new" 
version. Some that are freely available include KMyMoney and GnuCash. Both of 
them can import Quicken files.

In most countries selling harmful things like drugs is punishable.
Then how come people can sell Microsoft software and go unpunished?
