I work at non tech company. A lot of( if not most) interactions with the outside world are based on Microsoft products: meetings, file exchanges, or even collaboration. Some things work great and for some you just want to shoot yourself in the head. The average knowledge of a non tech business user is very very limited when it comes to software and some people even get panic attacks when told ' just download it and run it'. That's the default mode in many businesses. The average person on HN, who can pick up new programming language,read 50 pages of docs in the evening is so much beyond the average office user, that there aren't many hopes of that gap closing any time soon.
