rationally that does not make sense. The "online version"and the desktop version should be one and the same - they both rely in updates from the internet. Are you 100% certain on that?
Not the same at all. Online is simply a code change in TurboTax's OWN web server that they can done anytime.
Desktop updates must be complied and packaged for 4 different Windows versions and 4 different Mac versions. The Mac update is about a 220MB file that can take an hour to download on a slow internet connection (that many still have have to pay by the MB) and 1/2 hour or more to install. Too many updates is very time consuming and inconvenient for many desktop users.
