I read through Tammy's 1st steps article - BusinessObjects Analysis Office 1.4 is now GA - Your First Steps - and the PAM for 1.4 that was reference within that Blog. (Thanks for that...!)
It appears that the pre-requisites for BO Analysis for Office 1.4 deployment are Windows-7 (no XP-Pro) on the desktop, and SAP BO BI-4.1 on the platform side.
Therefore, my "lagging" location with XP-Pro on the desktop, and SAP BO BI-4.0 on the platform-side is "stuck" until I can get them to complete their other upgrades to desktop OS & platform....
Anyone know of a work-around, or I am as "stuck" as I assume...?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
