I was in exactly the same situation for several months. Then I put
Vmware on my machine and that was better than having a dedicated
Windows laptop. But, it still wasn't good enough because I just hated
using it. Windows was an abomination on my otherwise pleasant
machine. Also, Vmware takes too long to boot and is a lot of overhead
just to run a check book balancing program. So, I made the jump to
cbb (check book balancer) and have been quite happy with it. It does
not supply all the stuff Quicken does, but it does a lot and if you
want something you can write it up. Also, I have come to like being
able to see my databases in Emacs!
cbb imported my quicken files pretty well. If I remember correctly, I
had to edit the date and/or entry number because it wasn't in the form
cbb was expecting. This was a while ago, though, so it might work
now. Also, I was using an old Quicken.
HTH.
