Another issue with large migration projects is that the users' skill sets vary widely and often user training/hand-holding is not included to the extent needed. One of the complaints people had with MSO ribbon and with the new Windows 8 interface is not that they work but that they were conceptually very different from what people are using now. Many users will need some training/hand-holding to make the transition; the less skilled will probably need more than the IT gurus. The real problem is whether the migration project was well supported and well planned. -- Jay Lozier jsloz...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to marketing+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
