Default Extensibility Addin Vs. VSTOAddin

Can someone explain the advantage to developing as VSTO Addin vs an
Extensiblity Addin? My target production environment has User's that
do not have admistrator rights to load a VSTO Addin and it is my
understanding that the VSTO Addin can only be loaded and work for the
"Just for Me" option that puts the registry setting in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

Is there a way to get the advantage of the shim that is built into
VSTO Addin's for the "Everyone" option (writing keys in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE)?

Thank you for your time.

It's my understanding from a comment posted by a member of the Outlook team
that Outlook 2007 will ignore any addin registered in HKLM when it starts up
and will not start that addin.

Morna,

You can always use logon scripts to deploy your addin for your users. I
used a VBScript that would check the presence of the addin on the user's
profile and would install it if when not found.
