Indeed, most of the calls I get from users stems from their lack of training
with 'doze. They use M$ all day on their desktops but do not understand how
to do more than the average daily task.
It is a complete fallacy to assume that users will find Linux or M$ more or
less difficult to use than any other OS. Without training, the average user
is fairly lost. The other fallacy is to assume that all M$ offerings have
the same user interface. They don't. They may as well be running on
different OSs.
Back to the topic: We should not be pushing for a special Linux interface
for BAS lodgement (that will only scare them); instead we should be pushing
for a STANDARD html interface for BAS lodgement that does not rely on
proprietary extensions that cause browsers to crash etc.
Regards,
Jill.
