[K12OSN] Crossover office

[norbert]

Hi,

As much as I hate to say this but your better option, performance, 
speed, compatibility and price is with Server 2003. The benchmarks we 
ran with 2003 were much better than with any other option. BUT you'll 
need a hefty server and lots of patience configuring the 2003 server SW 
so that it can be used. (Seems than M$ in an attempt to block hacks, 
virius & attacks locked the server down soooooo tight that it barely 
works :-D )

good luck
norbert
