I remember going to the UK launch of Lotus Improv as a newbie journalist. It was really notable how both how flashy and professional it was compared to other products (in retrospect, I'm presuming that was Jobs' influence). Nonetheless, I think they really struggled to explain pivot tables, and why, in itself, that feature was sufficient to move to a new application and a new hardware platform.
