Boneheaded Quicken UI Error #768 May 4, 2006

Ok, there’s a lot of things I find annoying in Quicken, but I think this is easily the funniest. Check out this screenshot of the “Create Renaming Rule” window. It looks normal, right? Well take a close look at the “Contains” dropdown. Notice how the two Contains menus look slightly different? What Quicken does is show you an IMAGE (i.e. a JPEG) of the menu and when you click on it the software substitutes in the real Windows dropdown menu. It’s flabergasting–did Intuit have their intern design the menu? How could anyone possibly think this is the correct way to design an application? I think this is a perfect candidate for the Daily WTF.
