Best way to deploy office 2010

I am deploying a new View5/thinapp4.7 env.

I have been reading all these forums saying office 2010 is a lot of fun to deploy via thinapp Smiley Happy.

The thing is though all my machines need office 2010.  So if I go down the thinapp route I will just be installing it on every vdi desktop.

Is there anyway to bake office 2010 into my master gold vdi image?  Does office 2010 kms licesining work ok for this?

(I have mak and kms keys)

Hi Chris,

you could install Office2010 with KMS into the base image you use to build your vComposer desktops. Obviously it won't be thinapp'd, but if you align your office updates with your base OS updates, vComposer can help.
