When I upgraded from Wordperfect 5 to MS Word 6, (as required by my then employer) I found the transition extremely easy because MS had an option that allowed help for Wordperfect users. All of the shortcut keys that I had memorized worked in Word 6. Perhaps giving the option of changing settings to mimic Windows behavior would be helpful in a new user's migration. Is there anything out there that allows this behavior for the transition from Windows to Linux? Something along those lines could help keep the little things from sinking the ship.
As a novice Linux user, I have managed to stumble my way through creating much of the functionality required to migrate my Windows applications to Linux. The average user (mom), however, may become frustrated without any guidance on the migration.
