Sharing MS ofice 2007 with multiple users

[recvspam]

How do I share an MS office between multiple users on the MAC? Here is teh scenario:

I have 4 users on my imac. I would like to be able to use a single VM to share the MS office 2007 applications running in the VM to all the users from a single VM. This way each user can be running their own instance of the app without within the same app.

Page 235 of the user guide makes it possible to share the Windows XP VM. But XP is also a multi-user OS, I want users on the MAC to be able to launch MS Word, PPT without also having to launch their own VM. Is this even possible or a future feature.

Yes, it is possible you can create one OS and put it in /Users/Shared/Parallels
Please note, only one user can access VM at time, in case of user switching other user will not be able to run VM or access applications

Ah.. that's the same solution described on page 235 of the user's guide. My issue is the concurrent use of MS office by multiple users on the Mac of the same VM - which it appears is not possible. As for concurrent access to the VM, I think teh best solution is to use rdp client for MAC located at: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/remote-desktop/default.mspx.
