Hello all:
Does anyone know of any studies that have been done as to the percentage of
users who do actually do read documentation - (particularly in the software
industry)?
I searched TechWhirl and the archives - and I see some articles but no hard
stats.
And if not in that industry, in any industry?
Thanks
