Totally ignorable! W4L will run the number of licenced copies, then no more. The End. I have found W4L support very good, They DO know about LTSP, and there are no issues with LTSP, but there are some limitations with W4L. I'd still go for planmaker, textmaker for excel, word. Open Office is good, but somewhat slow and not perfect. EG I have a huge spreadsheet with a graph. Win4Lin 10 secs to open & display, planmaker about 12 secs, OO about 3 min, and it does not display the graph correctly. OO is really nice to have as a backup eg you get a PowerPoint doc mailed to you. Codeweavers 'worked' I tried (ask and they will give you a trial version), but I got W4L.
