Andrew,
you have pretty much confirmed a lot of my suspicions, one other
question if possible.
With regards to streaming Office 2010 is there any other advantage other
than allowing multiple versions of Office on the same box?
If I can work it my preferred option would be to migrate a user to a box
with 2010 and then prevent them from logging on to a box with Office
2002.
I could them set GPO to force save to older version until everyone had
been moved. As I say this is a first look but I need to get my vision
straight so that I can force down the correct road instead of cobbling
together something that will just give me more issues during the
transition.

Ronnie,
You'll not be able to install both versions on the same server - and you
may have to box clever if you've enabled roaming profiles. Also bear in
mind the file format has changed as well; so you may need to ensure that
either you've a way of forcing the 2010 to save in an older format; or
allow the existing environment to be able to read the newer file format.
To run on the same server you'll have to introduce application streaming
to allow you to at least launch Office 2010. Bear in mind it'll get
exciting with selecting documents in explorer or launch documents from
and linking applications - this may be a lot of work and change for a
looksee.
Perhaps the easier method would be to build a new server with Office
2010 and set up this with a bunch of test user accounts - could have
less impact on your existing environment and be easier to evaluate.

Hi,
just been asked to check out Office 2010 for XenApp, I would need to
still run Office 2002 at the same time.
Is this a good / bad idea ?
Has anyone had any good experiences >?
The Platform is Windows 2003 running XenApp 5.
thanks
Ronnie
