At least with Word/Excel, a fairly large percentage of our users may have it already on their machines, but now the problem is: which version? :(

>Walter,

Our main problem is we would have thousands of sites to update, and unfortunately, lowest common denominator of H/W forces our hands as to what we can do. I would love to just specify reasonable minimum requirements, but that's not my decision. No reason everybody shouldn't be using PIII 800's or Athlon 750's, with 512MB, right? *LOL* (someday, sooner than we think, THAT will seem rediculously slow/small, won't it?)
