I'd love it, but I think that Intuit and H&R would unleash their patent
portfolio. Just a hunch.
At any rate, Windows is now on my computer for legacy compatibility purposes
only (i.e. for software that needs to get with the program). Just like emulation
software :P.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

for quite some time now.
They have wisely opened the market for their product to
Android users and Apple product users.
So what's the other Great Obstacle? Oh, yes, AutoCad. Well,
there always have to be legacy systems.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Well, FOSS has not anything to compare to that, where you can
switch over the FULL DATA SET on Friday to a FOSS replacement, and have it all
work without much
training for the staff come MONDAY
AM.
This gets back to FLOSS being for people who know
what they are doing, know why they are doing it, and understand both the
theoretical and practical knowledge in what they are doing.
Windows
software is written for people who neither know, nor care what they are doing,
much less have any understanding about what they are doing. People who will
happily apply a hundred dollar payment by the debtor, as a hundred dollar debit,
leaving the debtor owing an additional hundred dollars. (An error I've seen more
than once made by people using Quickbooks. People who not only did not realize
it was an error, when they made it, but point blank could not understand how it
could be an error, even with the paper trail in front of them.) [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
