techcrunch.com — Quicken Online were so bewildered by Mint’s claims of gaining 3,000 new users a day and jumping from 600,000 to 850,000 users in a matter of months that they decided to send a threatening letter demanding an explanation for this apparently inconceivable feat.

I can understand why someone wouldn't trust Mint.com.But honestly, a client side program which fetches this information and stores your bank login info sounds like a disaster in the making.

I'm not a "hacker" but I do work in computer security for the US government. I can assure you that ANY PC is more vulnerable than an enterprise data center and its servers, primarily because intrusion can come in many forms, including physical intrusion (does your house have electromagnetic access control or card readers to enter and exit), personal intrusion (does your girlfriend, boyfriend, roommate have an account on your PC?), or electronic intrusion (what kind of firewall are you behind? A multimillion dollar corporate one or a home use download.com one?)."Dinky" is not meant as an insult. It's meant as a comparison between an enterprise data center vs. your house. And I can assure you that an enterprise data center is far more secure.

Quicken Online could have something if they had a better view of their online application issues. Their "Community" has tons of posts about issues and basically no support communication. Tons of uses saying they're irritated at the support service and they're done with the service. Mint is absolutely awesome, but one huge flaw-- they don't have the feature to add upcoming transactions. If they had this, I for one would be using Mint.com. The one MMS (Money Management Software) that is online, which is not bad, is Buxfor.com...
