VSTO acceptance question...

Hello,

I have to develop a ms word add-in for our product. After doing some
research, I found that there are many options. The easiest being
developing with VSTO.

Before starting to develop with VSTO (compared to old fashioned C++/VB
add-in), I have a couple of questions.

It seems that VSTO is only supported on Office 2003 products. Is it
okay to develop add-ins that work only on Office 2003? What percentage
of people have upgraded to 2003? Will these people migrate to 2003 or
higher later?

I know that there may not be a clear answer to these questions. I just
want to know if you have (or planning to) embraced VSTO for your
product. If so, what are your reasons.

Thanks
