I also recall some significant resistance to offering that new Microsoft 
Office product, waiting until the previous version was no longer 
supported to upgrade.
I also experienced major UI changes that caused projects in corporations 
to fail, as end user input wasn't sought, which I thought I alluded to.
Don't even get me started on Windows 8, onward, which is being heavily 
resisted by quite a few corporations.
Why offer a project that emulates those factors that create rejection?
"You're holding it wrong" switched me to Android.
