Quicken pilots hosted personal finance, dips toe in subscription waters

Quicken last week started soliciting testers for a cloud-hosted edition of its namesake personal finance software.
The newly-independent company -- sold to private equity firm H.I.G. Capital last month -- asked for volunteers to try out Hosted Quicken for Windows (HQW).
HQW will kick off this month and run for a year, Quicken said.
The hosted Quicken will not be a true cloud application. Instead, it will rely on Quicken 2016 for Windows running on servers at a data center maintained by Hudson,
