This is the misinformed "I've-just-gotta-have-WEENDOZE" mentality.  If
you'd have read what I'd written -- "I don't think Turbo-Tax is M$; in
fact, I know it isn't because it would NOT be installed on any system 
in my home if it was!" -- then, you'd not have made such a misinformed 
statement.  Turbo-Tax and other Intuit products (Quicken, QuickBooks,
etc.) run on MORE than just WEENDOZE!  Here, it's on Apple OS X.  The
argument that one HAD to have WEENDOZE today is wearing thin.  There's
a whole new world out there too and M$ is falling behind!  Yeah!
