   I did not get that same indication, only that Turbo Tax Business is only   
   available for Windows, not other o/s and the Turbo Tax Business for   
   Windows still requires Windows 11(it's included[see above] with the   
   other editions - Deluxe, Premiere, Home and Business, **Business**.

     Not sure why would expect them too or if they should.   
   ESU is security related, not o/s feature or requirement related.

     See above...but if you have a link for that lie, feel free to post it.

   :) Common marketing strategy, push/spin the higher cost, higher margin,   
   higher net revenue product with its its features/capabilities.   
     -i.e.  sell it, whether needed or not

     Not much different than the approach to run Win11 in a VM on   
   unsupported equipment.

   That's part of the applicablity of it being incumbent upon all of us to   
   determine the requirements and make our own choices.   
     => might appear as 'weasel words' but its hardly an inconsistent   
   pattern that's been around for some time.

     See above, doesn't matter. ESU is security related.
