Our consulting accountant (who we pay for 1 hour to review our 
self-prepared return, and who usually saves us 2x his fee + the annual 
cost of TT, which is Schedule C and E deductible anyway) is a better 
TurboTax support tech than anyone employed by Intuit - he's helped me 
force TT to do my bidding in some relatively challenging scenarios (1031 
exchanges, odd depreciation allocations, Shcedule E loss 
carry-forwards,etc.).

My biggest beef w/TT (the download & install versions) is how much the 
ui/workflow changes from year to year - kind of gratuitous, and adds 
unnecessary overhead to what should be a fairly repetitive process... 
Yeah, running TT and Quicken on WinXP in VirtualBox is a bit 
distasteful, but works just fine.
