Geez. I suspect that we do not have enough info to fully address the question. You can *buy* outright, cash on the barrel-head a desktop system that can run Office 2007, for $349 (17-inch monitor), if you really needed to. Wireless NIC might be extra, ~$47. Unless, of course, you also need the license for Office 2007, in which case you will need another $300 per host or so. Oh, and another $200 more per host tfor he M$ license for XP, upon which you will be running said O2007.
Give us some more of the background behind this hypothetical question, Marcus. What's the real requirement? To produce Word 2003-compatible docs? .xls? Or Office 2007-perverted, encrypted, non-backwards compatible versions of same? Or, something more useful? Hardware's cheap. Some software is relatively expensive. --Doug On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 8:14 PM, Marcus G.
