Since it's not yet out, there's nothing to like or dislike. What I do
dislike, however, is the process where Intuit stopped supporting some of its
old programs (for which the owners and users paid and used with
satisfaction) when they issued Q2008. To my way of thinking, that's little
more than commercial extortion not far removed from the kind of extortion
that society considers to be a felony.

It may seems tempting to call it extortion, but - sorry - no go.

Extortion:
1. An exorbitant charge
2. Unjust exaction (as by the misuse of authority)
"the extortion by dishonest officials of fees for performing their
sworn duty"
3. The felonious act of extorting money (as by threats of violence)

Actually, society calls it PROGRESS.
Intuit is not motivated by TRUTH or HONESTY. Their main interest is
SURVIVAL. Not unlike the human condition.
