Very true.  Having spent a good part of the last four years writing
Red Hat Linux documentation, it's been interesting to see how the customer
feedback has changed over the years.  It has gone from this:

    "Your documentation said that the parameters for the foobar module are
    IO= and IRQ=.  They are actually IO_ADDR= and IRQ_ADDR=.  You guys
    suck!"

To this:

    "Your documentation doesn't describe how to use the little clicky thing
    on the keyboard screen.  You guys suck!"

No -- the truth is the vast majority of people *never* do a completely
fresh Windows install.  They either do nothing (getting a new system -- and
therefore a new install -- every few years), or they apply upgrade after
upgrade (which is a much easier process than a fresh install)...
