Why need "extra training"?
Something is wrong with IT training:
Apparently, people are being trained only to use a particular version of a particular product; rather than being given useful transferable IT skills.
Some IT support staff and specialist users may need training to support "open source" rather than Microsoft products, but normal basic users should hardly notice the difference.
Why do people expect re-training each time their software is upgraded, but welcome the challenge of learning to use their new car?
Should people have to take driving lessons & pass a new driving test each time they change their car?
