Inform and interactive fiction for training

Philip got me thinking about Inform again today when he sent me an interactive fiction story-in-progress, The Land of Noo. (He tells me, “There's no such thing as failure in the Land of Noo. Merely a lack of succeeding.”)

This got me thinking about whether you could use interactive fiction, of the sort created in Inform, for training purposes. (“There is a Mac OS X installation DVD here.”) Hm.
