I've had pretty good luck running M$ Office apps under crossover office. It
is more resource efficient than VMware, and performance is quite usable for
my customer's setup:
Server:
2x 2.4 GHz Xeon processors
2 GB RAM
LTSP desktop Users: 14
Other users: 6
There is one caveat: some of the more esoteric features of M$ Office may not
work correctly. This may annoy users that know of no other applications.
