I updated my web pages for this:

An Intuit 9/5/02 press release on this
http://www.intuit.com/company/press_releases/2002/09-05.html

You remove TurboTax before using the C-Dilla 
uninstaller, so those who gave back TT before
getting the uninstaller SHOULD not have a
problem, contrary to earlier reports.

Also contrary to reports, I see nothing in 
Intuit Press Releases or at 
http://www.macrovision.com/ showing that
Macrovision is nwo owned by Intuit.
