When MS were moving in on the well established  Wordperfect installed 
base, then ms Word had all sorts of highly targeted help items, aimed 
at (me) the new Word user. In fact I was forced into Word away from WP 
because of employer's policy, and I became very aware of  the 
targetted help.

Ubuntu's new approach is unashamedly inspired by 'best of' MAC and Win 
stuff and because the large target population is using windows, and 
most will need a little help, I think it would be a good strategy to 
let it speak windows world language. Maybe with a 'turn off' option.
