We're planning to run some W*Services too. So I'm curious to know what 
kind of capacity is usually needed for these services? Of course it 
depends on projected (simultaneous) user base, but I'd like to see some 
estimates for 10,100,1000 etc. users. Does anybody have insight  
information on this subject?

Thanks,

Ari
