No, Thanks

Just saw this:
GEtax, the Geneva Tax Office in Switzerland (the local equivalent of the US IRS) is sending CDs to every taxpayer in the region to help them access their tax-filing web application and fill in the revenue declaration form. The CD, shipped to 400,000 people, includes Mozilla 1.2.1 in French for Windows, Linux and OSX.
I can't imagine the boondoggle that we'd have if IRS were this adventurous. The Swiss may be, too, but I can't read the site since it's in French. I translated some of it using Google translator.
GeTax is an application allowing to the seizure on computer of the income tax return "physical people" of the canton of Geneva.? The Cantonal Tax authorities (AFC) of Geneva place it free at the disposal in the form of remote loading and, like last year, by sending of CD-Rom to all the taxpayers with the declaration.
I don't know if I like the word "seizure." Besides, would you install anything on your computer that came from Washington (DC, not Redmond)?
