Many tanks dare2dreamer, i appreciate your comments.
I believe you have reason, ReactOS is nowhere developed enough.
This tax program is written in Visual Basic and have many dependencies. That run over Linux is really great merit for WINE
My first computer yet had installed Windows 98 when it buy. I knew little about computers at that time so the hardware vendor it installed Windows but he does not leave a copy for me. I'd understand late that there is, any vendor leave Windows copies because are illegal copies. The problem or preoccupation of vendors is not the illegal Windows copy, instead that users can install yourself or not pay it to do the job.
I never had a Windows copy neither it installed in my life and not do not think do it. Now, to install Windows is against my religion.
Petition for government was did, of at least release the tax program source so we should create binaries for Linux. The petition was repelled from government. They said that if the source is release under GPL anyone would modify it and do so to evade taxes.
Then, if the security is the problem, how to explain this:
Windows code is secret and anyway there are many virus for it.
Linux code is open and...How many virus we know for Linux?
Besides, the software enterprise that produce for government never will release the source because they have the government lock-in to your services, they obtain much money so and will avoid interferences from others can alter something.
