Hi Jürgen,

Have you ever supplied your colleagues with a layout file containing all the 
environments and character styles they'll need for their document? I think 
even the most non-technical person would find LyX trivial to use if he/she 
never had to make an environment or character style.

Of course, installation of LyX is still a problem, but with Windows can't you 
just create an installer to do it?
