[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1783395, member: 46727"] What turned me off a long time ago is that many of us purchased the Windows version of TurboTax. That was during the days of Windows 3.0 and 3.1. Intuit in their idiotic way copy protected it. At the time, TurboTax was selling for around $12.95 and even less for the basic version. The copy protection actually installed a "root" protective scheme which caused all sorts of problems for users. When confronted with what they did, they made all sorts of lame excuses and refused to remove the copy protection. They finally (after a battle) had to relent, offer refunds, and remove the copy protection scheme from people's PCs. The company may have changed hands several times, but their lousy support and poor attitude more or less remains the same. I could go on and mention what they did with the Mac versions of Quicken, but I think you understand. [/QUOTE]
