   Are Microsoft or Adobe idiots because they don't want to

   Suddenly?   
      
   || Today, we sent a reminder communication to our valued Windows 10   
   || Desktop customers informing them that TurboTax Desktop personal   
   || software for tax year 2025 and beyond will require Windows 11 or   
   || future operating systems.

   The marketing organization has to generate income for the company:   
      
   || If you purchase TurboTax Desktop personal software for tax year   
   || 2025 and cannot install it because you have Windows 10, we have   
   || you covered. You will receive an in-product offer to switch to   
   || our TurboTax Online Premium service at no additional cost (includes   
   || one federal and one state return).
