@TS58RE: Like I used to be able to purchase the physical program from Office Depot. 

Not sure why getting a box at a retail store is important to you? In any case, you can get desktop, which seems to be what you were asking for?

The only difference between getting the box at retail and buying it from Intuit on their site is that you have to download it - which should take about two minutes.  It's basically a non-difference.
