Yes, but after having been a "loyal" Intuit customer for so many years just to be shrugged off (or at least completely ignored) when inquiring about alternative platform support, I haven't felt the inclination to bother with them or thier software anymore (aside from asking them if they plan on supporting other, more secure, browsers for their QB Online edition, which was ignored as well).
So, and until I find another suitable alternative, each year I boot the small partition that holds Win98 (and yes, I know it's a lousy version of Windows, but it only gets booted once a year) for an evening with TaxCut. Sure, I could mess with WINE, but why bother when it would mean putting a few more bucks into the pocket of a company that doesn't seem to really care about it's customers, or the direction of the industry, anymore?
TaxCut may even work with WINE, but since that's the only thing *I* would need WINE for, and I only use it once a year, that's not worth the hassle, either. I'll just wait until some good company fills the void.
