Microsoft Office System 2003 Web Parts and Components

Intended use: Optional for Windows SharePoint Services beta2 but highly recommended to get fullest feature set between WSS v.2 beta2 servers and Office 2003 beta2 clients.

Expected or anticipated utility: Primary audience is the SharePoint server administrators within organizations investing in SharePoint beta rollouts and Office 2003 beta client rollouts. The administrator is the decision maker for whether this download should be run on target Windows servers where SharePoint is already running. Individual end users won't run setup and can't run it on non-server machines. They see the features show up on the sites when they go to customize or create new pages or subwebs after the admin has installed the package.
