There was a very interesting blog post on the Microsoft blog this week called Resources for Customer Service it had a link to a couple of articles on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM resource centre, which I think has some of the best articles explaining how to use CRM for new users on the internet.
If Microsoft could arrange these into a user manual it would be fantastic and really help users get up and running with CRM 2011 quickly and easily. The problem I have at the moment is there are lots of great articles but they are not easy to find unless you search for them.
