Just for fun I checked out if TurboTax runs in Wine, I guess not as it
has a garbage rating because the installer crashes. Apparently the
software has some DRM in it that puts some signature on the hard drive's
starting sectors. BAD! BAD! BAD!
What I don't get is, if everyone needs to do their taxes, and there
are 30 million Linux users (maybe 1 million+ U.S. desktop users),
wouldn't that be a significant enough market to make a Linux version?
I guess TaxAct is an alternative that works in wine to some degree.
