Brooks, the CF back end works with various front end providers, among them quicken, money, and HFN's HOme ATM. From a bankers perspective it has always been important to have offerings which address the needs of all, or at least most customers. Quicken and Money are appropriate for people like you and other on this thread who want to use PFM software to organize their "finances". However, it isn't appropriate for the mass market.....the vast majority of people who only have A checking account and A savings account, and who aren't about to learn to navigate through quicken or money to pay their eight monthly bills and balance their checkbook.

Home ATM software is perfectly appropriate for this segment of society ("the mass market") who simply want to manage a "checkbook". It helps round out a banks offering and is critically important to penetrating groups of users beyond the 8-10 million person plateau that Intuit and Money have been stuck on for years. It is so intuitively simple to use that it requires no learning curve...no instruction manual.

I think it will become a popular mass market product distributed by lots of banks.

I just want to make it Clear where Zimmerlaw stands on CheckFree:

www3.techstocks.com

"Over the past six months, CKFR was a security we had taken a position in -- and then determined that it was fundamentally unsound to compete with MSFT"

I would love to see Zlaw attempt to back up his statements with fact. The fact is he can't, therefore, he will keep to 'Private Messages' that he's been sending to everyone.
