The point is not whether the download is the same as the CD. The issue is that it is important to have physical copies of old versions in case an amended return needs to be filed. Old versions must be repurchased if you only have the download code and Intuit decides not to honor the past purchase. This is already happening, so don't say that this is not an issue. Withholding the physical copy of the software is a total scam. I will be looking at other vendors even if they only offer downloads also. I've been a loyal Intuit customer for more than 25 years and I expected better. Shame on you for not providing your loyal customers with the service expected. Good luck with your new policies and extraordinarily high price points. Your prices for online downloads have convinced me to go to an H&R Block office instead of filing myself. Their prices are better than Intuit and I'll get in-person service.
