Reminds me of the Info-Dialogue-Box I removed from an application last year. This saved perhaps 1 second to click it away each time it was shown. I estimated that it shows up about 3,000 times a month in the company. This means 36,000 times a year, or 180,000 times in 5 years, that is equivalent to 50 hours. -- It took me perhaps 10 minutes to remove it, including tests. With average labour costs of 50 Euros per hours for the users, the company is going to save about 2,500 Euros over a period of 5 years.
