I have done both of these things. I have complained vigorously in this forum, figuring that most of the people here are against corporate spyware. Sure, there are a few sleazy shills here -- we all know who they are by reading their posts -- but most who are here are here because they object to this kind of thing. I have also written directly to Intuit, emphasizing how long I've been a customer, how much I have appreciated their software and trusted their company, and how utterly stunned I am at what they've done. I'm still amazed. Hard to get over it. It's like a baby food company spiking the product with whiskey or something. How utterly stupid could they be? The more I think about the dumber I think Intuit is. They must be on drugs at that company. Spyware in personal finance software?! Jesus, what idiots. Anyway, I'm waiting a while before I switch because I still don't think they'll ultimately be stupid enough to really go through with this. If they don't reverse themselves by the end of the month, I'll send everything back for a refund and get other software. But I think they'll back off. Not because they're nice people, but because they can't have this kind of corporate death wish. What do they do for fun at Intuit, chase after each other in the parking lot with bazookas?
