Quicken for Linux?

[markt9]

Quicken was the one program that kept my wife from switching to Linux on
her desktop.  11 years of running a program makes it hard for people to
switch.

I didn't have luck installing Quicken on Wine.  Maybe an older version
of Quicken might work though.

I installed VirtualBox from the Sun website (the open version does not
have usb support) and loaded XP on it for her to run Quicken.
