Well the Clinton administration thought so too, but negotiated with Intuit and others to let them keep their oily grip on the tax filing software in exchange for this 'free filing software' deal.

There's even GPL'd GnuCash for more sophisticated accounting.Īnd because I don't like Intuit, here's an offtopic tip- did you know that thanks to a certain pre-Bush president, any company who wants to sell tax efiling software also has to provide free tax filing to the general public? Because if you think about it, why the hell are IRS tax filing servers (paid for by the public) not made available to the public? Rather, only certain corporations who then SELL their services to the public to use them? Seems a little unfairly tilted towards big business, doesn't it? Wouldn't you think the government would provide software to the public directly? And quite a number of good ones for Linux too. Aside from that, there are many many many many options for mac. It's cross-platform (try the demo) and works great. When large sums of money are pooled prior to donation, you have the power to help steer a project in ways that smaller, individual donations would not receive. Instead, skip right by the begging/petitioning stage and advance DIRECTLY to supporting Open Source projects. There are certain exclusions to this, of course - forget about ever begging Microsoft to write a more feature complete version of Office for Mac. They say that voting with your dollars makes a difference, but I think if they see that open source is their competitor, it will get a LOT more attention. I'll bet some $20 donations from individuals could amount to a LOT of money fast - just make sure that Intuit and other vendors know that you're doing it. and if those fail to get notice, pool a VERY large amount of money and contribute heavily to open source products with emphasis on the features and functions most needed and most missing in the commercially negligent. But it wouldn't hurt to join some users groups and start circulating petitions.

(* insert microsoft conspiracy theory here *) But given the recent surge in Mac netizenship, it is past time for these vendors to start paying more attention to Mac users. This is especially true when there is a Windows version of the same. The applications that do get made for them have decreased functionality, service or support in some way. Mac gets fewer games made for them and fewer applications made for them.

Mac users have always been second-class computer users.
