I wonder if it's just a "violation" of rule #1: stop thinking legacy!
People are used to what they have done for a decade or two. It's hard =
to
see the change and results in "why is this all so different and =
complicated?".
It's hard to open ones mind for the new, but it is essential to do with =
new
technology.
So I advice people not to get trapped by their legacy habits!
