My experience is 60-85% of the software audience just doesn't read. They
expect others to explain the material to them.
Tom,
My experience is similar to yours. If something is put directly in front of
someone (e.g. in the form of a message or pop-up window etc), at least some
people will read it. If it's put in a tutorial or long help message (i.e.
something that requires someone to press the F1 help key), the chances of it
being read are somewhere between slim and none. This is why I think all
vendors should at least try to put features in plain view, and not hide them
in manuals or tutorials or drop-down menus (etc).
