Hmm.  Yeah, I can see that would would certainly save on bandwidth, but on an 
internal 100 meg lan would it really be an issue (I'm asking here, not trying 
to be a smartass)?  I guess it could certainly become an issue if you had 
many streams playing.  I think the determining factor would be the codec used 
for playback, resolution, framerate, etc.

And after a long day of moving exchange mailboxes from one server to another 
manually, I'm heading out for a few nice pint's of Rickard's Red myself ;-).
