It is often said 90% people use only 10% of the features, and to my own
experience it is true. They buy a product for features they won't use.
Some are even proud of couple of features of the product they are using,
but never are using this couple of features ;-)
When choosing software/hardware, often people hear good advices from

conducting blind ! M$ seems to take part of it !
