Another issue with large migration projects is that the users' skill 
sets vary widely and often user training/hand-holding is not included to 
the extent needed. One of the complaints people had with MSO ribbon and 
with the new Windows 8 interface is not that they work but that they 
were conceptually very different from what people are using now. Many 
users will need some training/hand-holding to make the transition; the 
less skilled will probably need more than the IT gurus.

The real problem is whether the migration project was well supported and 
well planned.
