Ok, all of you high tech users are going to scream when you read this
question so turn on your flame throwers and get set:

On both the Office 2003 and the new beta for 2007 it requires a server to
use two features SharePoint and Out of Office assistant- I want to use those
features but it seems to indicate a lot of cost and work to set up a server-
If I “load” Virtual Server” will that allow those features to activate? That
is, will I be able to use the virtual server to manage them?

Thanks!
