Hi AndyTJ -
Not to dampen your comment but technically we don't own the product. What we do own is a license to use the product and within that is the implicit understanding that we own a license to use the product as it was when we first licensed it subject to the occasional fix of a bug or two that cause the product to not perform as originally intended.
That said, I have not given Intuit license or permission to change the product in a way that I consider unwanted and undesirable and in such manor that I would not have purchased the license for the product had it contained the "feature" that they changed or added. That's pretty much where we all are, I think.
And, Intuit's motive for this change, contrary to the BS they keep trying to feed us, is that they want to force us into buying into their cloud based subscription service so that they get additional revenue each and every year. Most of us object to doing so for at least these two reasons; 1.) we don't want to be paying an annual fee to use an accounting system when the basics of accounting remain the same from year to year (payroll excepted), and; 2.) most of us want to completely isolate and protect our data, and client data, under our own roof without Intuit, or anyone else, have a back door into that data.
So, there you are.
