That is just outrageous! I haven't created a new company on windows in a while.  I am going to try to create one now to see if I can do it without having to login.  That's ridiculous! I'm getting REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY tired of Intuit's intrusion.  As a tax preparer, I am supposed to make sure that data is protected.  It seems to me that Intuits demands VIOLATE that clause because I don't know what they DO with this information or how secure it really is! I trust them with NOTHING.  I refuse to use any other Intuit products.  I keep searching for an alternative that doesn't require some online storage or login but so far, little luck that isn't outrageously expensive.
