Here is my conspiracy theory: Jobs need to convince big developers to use the Yellow Box for Mac/Rhapsody/Windows apps. If Intuit says it doesn't make enought $$$ from Mac, the developers shake their heads in agreement. Jobs then says that its Apples fault for not being "in their face"; again the other developers nod in agreement. Then if Intuit suddenly sees the light and buys into Yellow, the developers need to reconsider.

On the other hand, Intuit has a ton of problems since the advent of the net. And the management was just coasting. It is more likely that they will have Apple users play guinea pigs for a new mode of net-based apps.
