   Every year, like clockwork, Costo puts TurboTax on sale for about ten bucks   
   off the normal price, so I've been buying the Deluxe version at that time.   
         
   Year, after year, after year, after year after year I've been doing that.   
      
   But no more.   
      
   It doesn't even matter that Windows 11 is lost functionality over Windows   
   10, because there's nothing that TurboTax needs that is only in Windows 11.   
      
   Apparently it doesn't even matter to Intuit that Windows 10 is fully   
   supported at least to October 2026 either, as my research shows, so far,   
   that there's absolutely zero checks if we're on the Windows 10 ESU program.   
      
   And, apparently it doesn't matter to Intuit that EVERY OTHER TAX SOFTWARE   
   works just fine with Windows 10 (as it should) including H&R Block Deluxe.   
      
   Intuit knew they would lose long-standing customers by this action.   
   And Intuit opted to enforce this purely punitive action nonetheless.   
      
   But, maybe there is a good "reason" Intuit is punishing its customers?   
   If so, then we need to simply answer the question below with actual fact.   
      
    Q: What on earth does TurboTax need Windows 11 for?   
    A: ?   
   --   
   When a company makes half the world's PC's incompatible for no good reason,   
   that says a lot about how little that company cares for its own customers.
