Title: Beware of activation!
Review: This year TurboTax includes a new "feature": it is tied to a single PC for printing or e-filing. You call or connect to "activate" it. If your hard drive then dies, too bad. If you buy a new PC between now and the time you want to amend your return, too bad. You have to buy a new copy of TurboTax at full price. Buy tax cut, It's not quite as comprehensive, but it's a decent product at a great price, and they don't treat every customer like a potential thief.Intuit has really stepped in it, and will lose market share for years to come when this season's annoyed customers rebel. It seems that Intuit did not learn the lesson of the copy protection wars of the 1980s: customers rebel at restrictive protection, especially when one or more vendors offer similar non-protected products. Only a monopoly provider like Microsoft can get away with this stuff, and even they allow Windows XP to be moved a limited number of times.
