Get your taxes done using TurboTax
WIN 10 took all night last night to update the one PC we use it on...OMG what a bad joke Win 10 is...
I used FireFox to DL TT Win 7 version and had no issues on my old PC installing it. I stopped using Explorer many many moons ago due to all the security flaws and other hassles it caused, back when we were still using XP-Pro x64, which by the way, worked pretty well.
TT has had it's own share of glitches, but seems very responsive to getting them fixed or providing a work-around promptly - last year's version had an issue with not letting me change the estimated tax paid - it was stuck on the amount it had come up with the prior year. They gave me a work around within a few hours after contacting them.
On the other hand, ever tried getting a response from MS? Good luck with that.
All I can say, Intuit if you're listening, is if next tax year you do not offer a Win 7 version of your program to the estimated 25% of PC still running it, but do offer a MAC version to the estimated 10% of computers running the Apple OS, then you have no business sense.
No computer operating system is completely hack-proof, and hyping up the supposed risks of continuing to use Win 7 vs down-grading to Win 10, is non-sense. And the more people that go for Win 10, the bigger a target Win 10 will become. It happened to Apple's OS - when a mere 2-3% of computers ran it, no hacker bothered to attack it, and Apple could run those stupid commercials claiming OS was somehow less vulnerable than Windows.
I do wish Intuit would eliminate that warning message about using Win 7 that I have to respond to every time I start the program. Is it an attempt to cover their behinds if TT gets hacked? Whatever...
