Samuels said the decision does not affect MacInTax, the company's tax-preparation software for the Mac. Samuels said MacInTax sales continue to grow, and Intuit intends to release a new version this fall.

So what does this tell us? This whole statement reminds me of the smelly load of BS Adobe recently put forth in hopes of explaining away their poor earnings. Note also that Intuit is keeping its Mac people on for their Web development. Smart move. These software designers will almost certainly be using Macs in Intuit's Web design department, and the company won't have to spend big bucks to re-hire the staff when Mac's market share gets back up to 50% and Intuit is forced to start producing Quicken for the Mac again. Very smart. Anyone know how overall sales of Quicken have been doing?

Well, that is smelly!

Intuit can't sell Quicken for the Mac and make a profit? It was bundled on the Mac a short time ago. I received the bundled version and then bought the full version.

There may be sour grapes of wrath in the mix.

I know I'll stick with my Mac, but I may have to switch my accounting software. My accountant didn't like it anyway.

Happy AAPL bS,
