INTUIT ANNOUNCES QUICKEN 4 FOR WINDOWS

World's #1 Selling Personal Finance Software Features Ease, Insight and
Planning Breakthroughs

Menlo Park, Calif.--Sept. 26, 1994--Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ: INTU) today
announced a new version of Quicken, the world's #1 selling personal
finance software. Quicken 4 for Windows contains more than 100
customer-driven feature innovations that provide breakthroughs in ease of
use, insight and financial planning.

For the first time in Intuit's history, the company simultaneously
announced a full line of new Quicken products for all major personal
computing platforms. In addition to upgrades to Quicken for DOS, Windows,
Macintosh and CD-ROM, Intuit announced two new Deluxe versions of Quicken
for Windows, one on floppy disk and one on CD-ROM.

Intuit's decision to introduce Quicken and Quicken Deluxe stems from
customer research that revealed the need for two software solutions for
organizing personal finances: one for novice users and another for users
with a broader range of financial management needs.

"From an anxious new computer owner to the most demanding personal finance
software user, Quicken and Quicken Deluxe truly cover all the bases," said
Eric Dunn, general manager of Intuit's Personal Finance Division. "Quicken
has always been designed to help people painlessly organize their
finances. Now, we guide new users through every step from using a mouse to
paying their first bill. For experienced Quicken users, Quicken Deluxe
provides the most sophisticated tools and financial insight available
today."

What's New in Quicken 4 for Windows

The new version of Quicken makes personal financial management faster,
easier and more insightful. Along with breakthroughs in ease of use,
Quicken's new Snapshots and financial planning tools allow users to assess
their financial position and plan their financial future.

Get Up and Running in Less than Five Minutes

Quicken reduces the anxiety of learning new software and organizing your
money by using a simple interview designed to get users up and running in
less than five minutes. In addition, HomeBase, a graphical entry point to
Quicken, elegantly organizes and groups Quicken's features. Users can now
more easily locate Quicken's financial management tools.

Snapshots Reveal Your Bottom Line

Quicken users formerly had to run a series of reports and graphs to get a
thorough assessment of their financial position. New Snapshots provide a
complete financial picture in an instant. Colorful and informative panels
report on spending, saving, investments, net worth and more. Build your
own Snapshots, or use Quicken's standard views.

Plan Your Financial Future

Long-time Quicken customers have good insight into where they've spent
their money. Now Quicken helps them set realistic financial goals and plan
for their financial future with:

Tax Planner: Quicken's new built-in tax planner allows you to estimate
taxes throughout the year.

Improved Forecasting: Quicken forecasts account balances, and net worth,
into the future to help users determine whether they can afford major
purchases.

Customized Budgeting: Budgeting with Quicken is faster and simpler now that
you can combine categories into supercategories. For example, combine
dining, entertainment and travel expenses into one "Fun" budget
supercategory. Then get instant feedback on how your actual spending on
"Fun" compares to your budget.

Improved Savings Goals: Users can set aside money in their bank accounts to
save for future goals and get instant feedback on how they're
progressing.

Tools for Faster Data Entry

Register Enhancements: Account selection buttons let users work within one
register screen and switch quickly between accounts. And, to accommodate
everyone's unique data entry style, Quicken's register is now more
customizable. Users can rearrange fields or change preferences to optimize
data entry.

Improved Links To TurboTax: Quicken makes it easier to transfer your data
to Intuit's TurboTax, the world's most popular tax preparation software.
Quicken also makes it easier to allocate deductible expenses and
reportable income to the proper tax form.

Global Find & Replace: Now you can quickly and easily recategorize many
transactions in a single step.
