The TBB usability study [1] mentioned by Greg Norcie in this thread is
quite interesting, even for Tails. It identifies several UX or
documentation failures in TBB that lead to "stop-points" (a point which
a given user cannot proceed beyond) that are also directly applicable to
Tails, or that have some more or less obvious parallel in Tails. Several
of these issues are similar to what Andrew observed in his Tails
usability study.
Cheers!
