Summary: No Problems Here
Review: I've been using Turbotax for years and have had no problems. I've use Taxcut before and think Turbotax is still superior. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Another customer lost
Review: As I have for years, once again this year I took advantage of the TurboTax/Quicken rebate deal. I loaded both and didn't think much about it. I started having problems with my 3D graphics card (it wasn't being recognized as having 3D acceleration all of a sudden) and it wasn't until my friend Greg told me about this site and the spyware issue that I solved it. Last night I removed TurboTax and the spyware and guess what? My new graphics card now works. I ran out and bought TaxCut AND Money today. Unfortunately the folks at Money are almost as stupid as the folks at TurboTax; Money 2003 cannot import from Quicken 2003...it must be opened in Quicken versions 2 through 6 or 98 or 99 and saved in that format first. (like I keep every piece of old software I upgrade from!) So the jury's still out on whether I'll be rid of Intuit's products forever, but given a choice....

Summary: Turbotax nevermore (thanks, Mr. Poe)
Review: Two comments:
1) Have already investigated plan B (HR TaxCut software) for this year. Intuit used to be the underdog and put out some high-quality software but this activation runaround pretty much is the end of that era. Of COURSE it would have problems and leave me with a $.. coaster that I can't use, online Java app that won't work for "chat" support, and no current recourse.
2) Ever read Borland's old license agreement? Using software like a book - can't read more than one copy at a time - was groundbreaking and extremely reasonable. I've always used a copy on both my computers up until filing, and then for reference afterwards. This scheme makes that impossible.I'd rate this zero stars but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Summary: Turbo Tax Crashes My Computer
Review: I don't begrudge anyone for trying to protect their software from piracy, but their hidden software protection scheme crashed my computer, and there was no answer for technical support. Apparently it installs some kind of hidden program on your computer without telling you. I lost three days of work in my office while I waited for a support person to reinstall all of my software. I've used Turbo-tax for more than a decade, but never again. This software is too dangerous to install. It just isn't worth the risk that it will screw up your ocmputer. I'm trying a competitor. So long Intuit.

Summary: Returning for refund and cleaninng all Intuit off my system
Review: I'm about to replace my Compaq PC with a new Dell, and this is how I learned the implications of this new "Activation" scheme. I don't want C-Dilla to be permanently stealing 1 meg of my system's main memory every time I startup my PC, and I don't want the hassle of having to sit on the phone for hours waiting for a customer service rep every time I want to re-install Turbo Tax (or retire my old computer as I am doing). I've been a loyal Turbo Tax and Quicken customer for at least 10 years, but no more. I am not going to allow them to pollute my new PC with C-Dilla. I'm returning both Turbo Tax 2003 and Quicken 2003 for a refund, and I am converting to Tax Cut and Microsoft Money.

Summary: My Last Year as a User - Great Job Intuit
Review: As you've read in all these reviews so far, this new protection scheme they are using is costing them yet another customer. This is the LAST YEAR that I will be using Turbo Tax. It's bad enough that they send the disc to me in the mail hoping I will submit my credit card and pay a very high RETAIL price for it. Now on top of that they hold me hostage to their new licensing scheme and treat me like a thief, not a paying customer. Been buying and recommending this product for 8 years, but will no longer support Intuit or their products. I feel sorry for their shareholders.

Summary: I don't trust Intuit anymore
Review: Trust is something that is earned. For about the last 4 years I have been a loyal, trusting user of TurboTax. This year I am presented with a complicated activation scheme and the installation ... of the SafeCast/C-Dilla combination. Mr. Scott Gulbransen (Intuit/Macrovision) indicated that it was an oversight not to inform the user that the additional [program] was being installed.... This is why I am purchasing TaxCut right after I press the submit button for this review. I also plan to make sure everyone at my company understands what they are in store for with TurboTax. So long Intuit. jr

Summary: It's gotta go
Review: Unfortunately, I installed this product before looking at any reviews (have been using it for years, faithfully purchasing it ever year). The C-Dilla [program] appears to have interfered with my CD-RW ability... in any event, its off to an alternate product for me. Hope to return it, we shall see how that goes.
