Just to add another nugget of information. Last year there was a problem of first installing online onto a Mac and then trying a week or so later also installing *also online* to our Windows machine which required a call to Intuit support to make the 2nd installation work. So that Is why I decided to do our Mac (which does have a CDROM drive) install happen from the CD and then do the second install online to the CDROM-less Windows machine. It was never made clear last year both installs had to be online given the absence of a CDROM on the second machine.
For over 8 years I have always bought the CD in order to have a physical media copy in case of hard drive failure or need in the future to reinstall an old version. Buying the CD does not rule out an online installation -- just a mixture of CD&online installs.
