I was a user of Turbo Tax for years and purchased same for 2006. To my supprise it advised me it no longer works on Windows 98. There was nothing on the front of the box that would warn me that it doesn't work. BUT if you put on your reading glasses, on the side of the box it will state 2000 and above. In otherwords you purchase this product on a BUYER'S BERWARE BASIS.
I am sure that there are a lot of Windows 98 users out there that have been shut off without there knowledge when purchasing TurboTax 2006.
Is this not deceptive advertising???

It is common practice to put the requirements on the side of the box. For instance - If a MAC user was going to look for software he/she would be inclined to always look for this info. The same could be said for the Windows 95 user.
It also tells you the required amount of hard drive space and memory required. This is also important for you to know before buying the software.
I don't disagree that it should be more prominent, but you should always look at this info

I'm not so sure that is a deception, but more of an assumption that most people have an up-to-date Operating System. It's their loss however, and Microsofts also for that matter :)
