Get your taxes done using TurboTax
What an absurdity this is. So, let's break it down:
Email today regarding TT Biz and end of W10 Microsoft updates, support, security fixes.
Due to 'unique needs of biz customers', Biz customers can use TT on Windows 10 for one more year only. Warning that doing so means you acknowledge/accept the risks of using an unsupported OS.
So, Biz customers, with unique needs that almost certain cleave towards even greater need for security, can use the unsupported OS; no requirement that the Biz customer have engaged ESU, even though doing so would mitigate that risk. In short: Biz customers can enjoy 'risky' use of the software for one year more.
Email today also regarding TT Desktop and same. Due apparently to the non-unique needs of filthy nobody end-users, no, even if you get ESU, you don't get the 'courtesy' one year to continue to use a risky, unsupported OS. Biz customers - no problem, use the risky, unsecure OS, we commoners, nope, not even that.
This makes absolutely no sense. It is TRIVIAL for the installer to check the Win 10 installation and verify if ESU is in place. I've paid for three years of ESU. Require users to have ESU in order to continue on Win 10. "Problem" solved.
This is just plain lazy, Intuit.
Fun fact: Windows 11 is LESS secure than Windows 10. By design.
And yes, I'm aware that whimpering here about this lazy behavior by a multi-billion dollar company will accomplish nothing.
