It might seem like it, unless you have a solution that works and is used
actively.

Comes down to the cost of conversion for a SME unit. One person
converting 1000+ important quotes, prices lists, etc isn;t going to be
very efficent. Esp when you have user training on top of that.

I've read that Word learnt this stragety early on. The best way to get
people to migrate to your product is provide _easy_ conversion in the
first instance.
