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?

Subject: [THIN] Which version of Office??
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.
Thanks!!
