    tstoneman writes "Intuit has issued an apology for aggravating $50-90 million in customers over their product activation code. Let's hope that they have learned their lesson, and that other companies will heed this warning. Nonetheless, I am still seething over their malware that they installed without letting me know, and despite the apology, I will be moving to Taxcut permanently from now on."

  2. Tax Software for Linux Followup

    Vladimir Vuksan asks: "After that feature about tax software for Linux I contacted Kiplinger software, makers of TaxCut in order to ask about the status or a possibility of a Linux port. The next day I got a polite reply from them that I am enclosing below. I remember e-mailing a similar message to Intuit a year ago but never received any reply from them. I would thus advise people who might be interested in a tax software for Linux to contact Kiplinger." Sounds like this is a chance for Linux to get some decent financial software under its belt! This is a good thing. Hit the link for a copy of the message Vladamir received.

Thank you for your interest in TaxCut product. Unfortunately,
at this time we do not have any plans to do this.
I will surely forward this request to my superiors
and hopefully in the near future they will consider it.

Thank You,
Customer Service

Subject: TaxCut for Linux

I was wondering if there are any plans to port TaxCut to the Linux
platform ? At work and home I use primarily Linux so having to
switch to Windows is a major hassle. If a package for Linux was available
I would most certainly buy it.

Sincerely,

Vladimir Vuksan"

    So if you've written submissions to Ask Slashdot asking for tax software (and there have been quite a few of you!) then warm up those e-mail programs and send a nice, polite email to them asking for a Linux port. At the very least, they may see that there is a market for Linux.
