Quicken 2013 For Mac

Quicken For Mac Vs PcI'm in the process of buying a computer for my parents. My mom has used Macs for most of her computer life, but my dad is completly new to them. I am going to buy them an iMac, and I'm nervous that my dad won't like it and continue to use their painfully slow windows machine. Currently, the biggest concern I have is using Quicken and turbo tax on a mac. My dad uses quicken 2003, and I had planned to buy quicken 2007 for mac, and transfer all of his files over. However, I've done some reading and discovered that quicken for Mac has horrible reviews. 
The other option I have is to put XP on the machine using boot camp, and buy a version of Quicken for windows. However, I am concerned that my dad will think this is too complicated, and continue to use his old version. 
Does anyone have any advice as to what they would do? Also, has anyone used Quicken on their mac? My dad also uses turbo tax, but I'm pretty sure thats a windows only program.
