>>>Every person that signs on to a service through another portal is "one less potential customer for Intuit, and that could be devastating," Mr. Craft said Fact is, this is not true. The market for Quicken is high-end, and they have done a pretty good job of securing it...to the point that it's saturated. The average Joe, who lives paycheck to paycheck and just wants to get and pay his bills isn't a candidate for Quicken!

>>>How could the suit get resolved? I suppose CKFR needs to give Intuit something they need in exchange for them backing off on enforcing their portal exclusive. What could that be?<<< I don't like the idea of CF giving Intuit a percentage of each e-bill payment (i.e., a percentage of the $.32 they'll get for each e-bill presented and paid). I'm not sure how the fee structure works for bills presented through Quicken 98/99. What I would really like to see would be a Quicken conduit whereby I could get my e-bills through a portal but have the transactions automatically downloaded to Quicken during a one-step update. It would work the same way as a Quicken web entry transaction.
