Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Isn't this a ballsup by Microsoft, in my firm most users have standard edition as they do not require Access.

Only the stand-alone Office app, such as MS Word 2003, or MS Excel 2003. or MS Outlook 2003 as individually bought product, not the ones coming as part of MS Office2003 standard suite. In reallity, there a much less users who bought MS Office app individually than uses who have Office2003 suite, be is Standard suite or Pro suite. Yes, VSTO project only works with Office 2003 Pro and individual lisenced app, not the Standard (or Basic, as many OEM pre-loaded into a new computer) suite, which are used by most users.

The main reason is that, I guess, there isn't a lot people doing VSTO development: it is jsut too risky in term of ROI (return of investment). Basically, you can only target Office 2007 and Office2003 Pro users. I'd better there are still more Office 2003 users that Office 2007. Among Office 2003 users, how many of them use Office 2003 Pro, instead of Office 2003 Standard? Even VS2008 made quite some changes to VSTO so that it is a bit easier to work with than VSTO2003/5, still, comparing to VBA, it is just too early to to choose VSTO than VBA.

Hi All

I have been reviewing this Newsgroup for a while and there never seems to be much activity on it. Where is there a active Forum\Newsgroup for VSTO?
