No tax software for you, naughty Linux/Mac user
,----[ Quote ]
| In 2005, it looked like a breakthrough was nigh; the ATO actually released a
| link to a Linux client for use with its electronic commerce interface. I
| thought this would be the first small step on the road to catering for all
| computer-using taxpayers the following year.
|
| Alas, that was not to be. The link to this client was taken down a few days
| later and that's the last I've heard of the ATO and Linux being spoken of in
| the same breath.
