We are experimenting with using VMWare's free player software to distribute virtual machines to allow campus professionals to test the "kit" as it matures without having to commit a physical workstation.

Office 2003 SP2
The administrative installation point for Microsoft Office 2003 that resides on L: will be updated. Office 2003 Service Pack 2 and a couple additional patches will be applied. The administrative installation point is used to install Office on workstations which use ITD's NAL applications. This does not directly affect the Office 2003 installations that currently reside on workstations. They will not receive the updates automatically. If you want to update a workstation with the patches that are being applied to the admin installation point, run the "Install or Repair MS Office 2003" app from the NAL.
