Summary: Another Longtime Turbo Tax Customer Bites the Dust
Review: Thank god I did not install the program they sent me in the mail. This whole activation number thing is a pain and I don't intend to purchase Turbotax 2002. I also thoroughly dislike installing software that cannot be totally uninstalled as my reading about C-dilla leads me to believe is the case. While I understand their concern about piracy, I also have the right to purchase the program that is the simplest for me to use and clearly from the information I've received, Turbotax is no longer that program.

Summary: Product is great! Don't understand misinformation on here!
Review: This was the first year I bought TurboTax at the recommendation of my old college friend. I bought it during my Christmas shopping rush and went home and installed it. It installed easy, no problems with any registration number, and I played with it for a while. My fiance bought me a new computer for Christmas (he's a great guy, what can I say?) and I went to reinstall it and soon found I had to call Intuit. I called a phone helper (Jessie) who walked me through the process of reactivating my copy. It was easy. I don't understand why you people are making a big deal out of this. I am a new TurboTax customer and am very satisfied.

Summary: Exchanged TURBO TAX for TAX CUT !
Review: As an experienced network security professional and privacy advocate I do not believe nor tolerate corporate entities promising me that the information they collect or the software they are installing on my personal equipment is protected or that they are protecting their software from copying. Regardless of what they do or say they cannot control the people buy it, use it, or their employees that have access to this data collected in "their interest". I paid the money and I should be able to do what ever I will with the product. To hook the software so deeply into my OS to the point that I cannot change any hardware or to prevent me to be able to make a perfectly legal "backup copy" is wrong.

Summary: After 10 years, I'm through with Intuit!
Review: I have purchased TurboTax every year for the past 10 years. I have never given away their software to anyone. In fact, I encouraged others to buy it, also. To show their thanks, Intuit is using Macrovision's C-Dilla protection software this year. Bad idea! Treat your customers like thieves and you will lose your customers! It seems that it's time to move to TaxCut this year. You blew it Intuit!

Summary: I've made the Switch
Review: I've been a user of both Turbo Tax and Quicken since the DOS versions. But after reading reviews of Turbo Tax for 2002, and reviews on Quicken 2003, I am switching from both. I have just purchased TaxCut for my 2002 taxes, and will probably move to MS Money in 2004. I understand that Quicken 2003 also has the same registration issues, and since I upgrade my hardware on my PC at least once every 6 months, there is no way I am going to purchase a product that will not reinstall if I change out my hard drive to a faster/larger hard drive, or upgrade the processor chip on my mother board. Intuit, if you are monitoring this board, you have lost another long term customer.

Summary: Shady at best
Review: I've used turbotax for years and it has worked great. But, the new version as you all have read have limitations on activation. I would avoid this and use taxcut

Summary: Why does Scott Cook want to antagonize his loyal customers?
Review: The product activation is onerous and totally uncalled for. Why do companies like M$ and Intuit think they can squeeze their loyal customer base and get away with it. In this case they have lost a customer. I have already purchased Tax Cut from H&R block. You know what... it's cheaper and easier to use. So thanks Soctt for showing me a better product! And good bye after 10 years of being a customer. Don't buy Turbo Tax or Quicken. Vote with your wallet.

Summary: I am going to ask for my money back
Review: Installed TT yesterday BEFORE reading about the C_Dilla spyware. I am going to return it to the store and get Tax Cut. Why would TT do that? Activation is one thing..but collecting info? I hope I do not need to reformat my HD to get rid of C_Dilla.
