A week or so ago while researching the possibility of using Wine to run 
TurboTax in FC2 I ran across a couple of messages reporting that this 
year or last TurboTax software started making changes to the masterboot 
record when run in Wine.  As a relative linux neophyte, that was enough 
of a cautionary note to dissuade me from trying it.  I also did not find 
any clear declaration that people were actually succeeding in running 
TurboTax under Wine.
