Yes. I'm not even going to get into how dangerous it is running applications in administrator mode and giving them unlimited access. Lets leave it at that, very glad it works for the rest of you.

I'll get one of my staff to install Windows XP somewhere and fight it. Incompetent programmers is one that I just cannot handle. Not only that but an incompetent government that thinks AIR is the right platform to deploy a tax application on.

Agreed, especially as the developers are probably earning a fortune on this one

I don't even want to think how much they paid Adobe .... as for salaries for the programmers, I'd assume at least 30-50k p/month. It could even be outsourced development.

What happened here is someone probably showed SARS a pretty little presentation, and people that know absolutely nothing about IT thought it looked good and decided to implement it.
