Networked Office

I think you have the option upon installing if you want to install Office to
a server, but I am thinking if you have 10 users it is going to slow down
your server badly. Is there a particular reason you dont want to install on
the workstations? You can setup admin install of office to install just like
Outlook installs on SBS client upon connection.

No, you can either run Office from a TS/Citrix environment or you can
install it locally. You can create an admin installation point on the
server and have the clients load office via a logon script when they first
start Windows. But you cannot run it from a plain server.

I'm trying to use my server as a file server, where I will store all the
Office executable. If MS so willing, then they can tell us what registry
setting on the local machine has to change so each of my workstation can run
office apps, e.g. MS Word, Excel, and other, right from their workstation?

Is it a technology issues that prevent this to happen? What's the big
problem since other OSes can handle multi-user apps?

Imagine if I can do that, everytime the workstation crashed and corrupted
the disk, all I have to do is install the os, mount the directory where
office reside, and voile ... it's back up again. Also, when the office need
upgrade, all I have to do is to upgrade the one on the server and again,
those 10(or for that matter 100K)workstation has their office upgraded!

Any ideas?
