[THIN] Re: Which version of Office??

Ron, just out of interest - what issues are you referring to for 97 and
/ or 2000?

        I have always found Office XP to work just fine. 2000 still had
some issues on TS thought not as many (BY FAR) as 97!!.

         

        Anyway, this is generally a time I let the user's feel the pain.
I would go XP or 2003. And let the enumeration problem MAKE them put
some directories in there. I mean if the problem was only not there in
Office 97 would you consider back reving to that?

        Dudes (and Dudettes), 

        We are deploying a new MFXP farm on Windows 2003 and
MFXP1.0/FR3-SP3 (just a few servers) and are about to start installing
apps. What is the general consensus regarding Office version to deploy?
We need Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook (also Acrobat) and we were
thinking Office XP, but a recent desktop deployment revealed an issue
with XP that makes me re-consider. One of our local users accesses a
network share with over 1000 files (please, don't get me started!! <g>)
and when you browse in Excel, it takes several minutes to display the
file list to select a file to open. This was replicated on Office 2003.
However, this was resolved by "downgrading" this user to Office 2000,
which does not exhibit the long file list enumeration time.

        Any information, pros, and cons from the group regarding which
version to deploy will be greatly appreciated.
