- I have noticed that there seems to be a free interchange of the words
- "end-user" and customer. In my experience a lot of the problems come
- from the end-user not actually being the customer ie. the user is
- required to use the software by his/her employer etc.
-
- In this respect, for example, I have never been a customer of
- Microsoft. I am an end-user but I am the customer of the PC
- vendor and/or a third party software distributor. Their
- requirements of Microsoft are certainly not the same as
- mine!
