The 'load on demand' feature could prove quite interesting. Does this mean that you start O2K in a 'bare bones' configuration, and as you work, the needed components get loaded as needed, eventually giving you a system with the functionality you need, with no resources wasted on stuff you never use(d)?

Thanks, Fred.

That's exactly what it means. When you install Office 2000 (or configure a standard installation for your network) you can specify on a per-feature basis whether to install it, install on-demand, run from server, or not to install.

If you then try to use a feature that's set for install on-demand (say, you're trying to spell-check something in French) it will automatically install the needed code. In a single-user environment it will ask for the CD - on a network it will get the code from the original install point.
