The topic of this thread is "PC Mag Tax Software > Review". If the word were not getting out to Intuit, we would not see a C-Dilla > remover, in fact we would see no response at all. The question is what "getting out to Intuit" really means. Do they regard this as a mere distraction that can be deflected with a non-responsive response, or do they think it's serious enough for an authentic response? To date, it's clear that they don't respect the seriousness of the problem. > Now that they've truly shot themselves in the foot with C-Dilla, and shot themselves > in the other foot with the removal tool, what's next?

Beats me, but I think the thing to do is keep the pressure on them to force the issue. It is not a sign of "immaturity" ot "repressed anger," or "excessive anger" or "misdirected anger" to vigorously protest a sleazy, unethical, stupid action by a corporation. We're Americans, and when corporations try to screw us it is squarely in our tradition to tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine.
