Title: New security features prevent backup or upgrading hard drive
Review: I have used Intuit products since the DOS days. I also have had hard drives crash before and lost everything. So now I backup my entire hard disk to a second drive using Norton Ghost. Everthing (except TurboTax 02) works fine doing this, even Windows XP. When I try and use my backup image, TurboTax comes up with an activation required screen. Maybe (if I am lucky) they will give me a new activation code if this happens before April 15. But I have all my Tax SW installed on my PC back to 1990. I am sure that in a year or more there is NO WAY they will give me a new activation code if my HD crashes. FYI, this also applies to simply upgrading to a larger HD, which I also do every couple of years. I dont mind having to activate the SW (like Windows XP) to prevent piracy, but REALLY hate what Intuit has done.
Is the review positive or negative?
