Scalability of Office Suites on Terminal Servers
Monday, 14 May 2007 by Michel Roth
My colleague Benny Tritsch has published an excellent whitepaper which takes a look at how OpenOffice.org 2.1, Microsoft Office 2003, and Microsoft Office 2007 scale on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Server 2003. This is a whitepaper you can actually use... It has some interesting conclusions.

"The goal of this test was to obtain a reproducible and independent assessment for the implementation of OpenOffice 2.1 on terminal servers in comparison with Microsoft Office 2003 and Microsoft Office 2007. The functionality and user-friendliness of one or another Office Suite did not take the foreground of this assessment. Much more importantly, the results of the test methodology applied should provide an indication concerning the number of users who are simultaneously logged on to and can work with the respective Office Suite on both 32-bit and 64-bit Terminal Server platforms"
