[OPLINTECH] Office 2007 on public workstations?

[Craig Heaton]

Hello,
I'm wondering how many library systems are offering Microsoft Office 2007 on 
their public workstations?  If you aren't, what alternatives do you offer? 
An older version of Office?  A version of OpenOffice?

We are considering installing it onto the public workstations, but I'm 
reluctant to do so as it has been problematic for us on the staff 
workstations (resoure hog which requires us to increase installed base of 
RAM, interactions with our catalog software and other Java based apps, 
corruption of data tables, etc.).
