Tax 2004

Submitted my tax a few minutes ago with eTax, should get a decent refund.

One thing that annoys me with eTax is their predicatable ‘Windows has the highest market share so only cater for them’ attitude. eTax only runs on windows PC’s, their solution for mac people? Use Virtual PC or some kind of emulator – WTF?

It annoys me. No doubt they contracted someone to produce an etax solution. Why didnt they detail in the specification document that the solution had to be cross platform? Theres no reason why a Java / web based solution couldnt have be implemented.

Implement the backend with java and the front end with web standards and what you have is a cross platform solution for ANY platform.

Its not rocket science….
