H&R Block's Tango

H&R Block has taken their tax preparation offering in a radically new direction this year for your 2006 returns. Enter project Tango...

It runs in a browser like Firefox (shown above), but they've re-jigged the experience by getting rid of back/forward, refresh, et. al. Very slick!

Check out their making of video: "The Journey Continues...". It feels like I'm reading an interactive comic book.
