"Mint founder and CEO Aaron Patzer [...] is now in charge of not only Mint.com, but also all of Quicken’s online and desktop products."

This is the best thing I've heard about the acquisition.

Yep, it turns out that he "sold out" the same way Jobs "sold out" NeXT to Apple.

Sold up?

So I guess 37Signals was wrong after all ;)

I think Aaron underestimates the Intuit bureaucracy. He'll have to do a lot of slashing n burning to get stuff to happen. I eagerly await more news on the "Mintification" of Intuit.

I am not so sure of that: Intuit seems smarter than I would have assumed by making him vice president. I would not assume that they wouldn't also recognize that bureaucracy is bad.

Why on earth would anyone pre-announce end-of-life for a product before you've released its successor?

You would have to be a complete idiot now to sign up for Quicken online. Intuit has just completely destroyed an entire revenue stream.

The current userbase will just be transfered to mint. This "end-of-life" is not the typical end-of-life where you are ending a product/service. The product is still there, they are just merging with mint.

The successor is Mint.
