The people who arent shifting over are clearly highly satisfied with their old skool products and that says as much about the new product as does about the people who we think are not shifting over. Its far from easy to shift a really large business organisation that has been living off one suite of products (most of their content lives in these suites), to a newer counterpart. Lots of work involved and if it isnt unavoidable, most people wouldnt prefer the shift. I would think that newer technologies will more easily be adopted by startups (versus established companies) and it seems like quite a reasonable trend... And as we have a steep rise in the number of startups, i think all generations are going to be happy for a while..
