I've got to disagree stongly with this. If you have 1000 users, 20% = 200
users who are going to give you a call or send an email. Not only that,
these are the users you want to speak to the least, because they still dont
know how to upgrade their browser or email client.
I am currently finishing up rewriting a program for a customer basically
from the ground up, because it was TOO powerful for the end user to
understand. Every screen had context sensitive help too. However all of the
words on the screen, and all those little input and select boxes confused
the @(#$%%ing moron ;-)
Never underestimate the power of stupidity, dont give the end user any
choices, and never ever leave the slightest possible chance that one of them
might have to contact you about their Netscape 2.0 running on Windows 3.1.
A little extra time taking into consideration compatibility, will save the
most time in the long run.
