Infopath viewer?

The ability to extend InfoPath 2003 scenarios "outside the firewall" (e.g., government to citizen, government to business, business to business, etc.) is feedback we've frequently received.  This speaks to the great value of the InfoPath client - and the desire for it to address an even greater number of business processes.  We are considering ways to enable these types
of scenarios in a future release of InfoPath.

It is important to note that it is possible, today, to build browser-based solutions based on InfoPath forms.  For example, you can build a solution in InfoPath (building a schema and Web services) that can be used for collecting information within the firewall, then use the same schema and Web services for building an ASP.NET solution for collecting information outside
the firewall.  For business solutions that require a "reach" (browser-based) solution, yet still use the power of InfoPath for the parts of the process that occur within an organization (where InfoPath can easily be deployed), there are two options:

*  Use ASP.NET forms in the solution to front-end the process.  Data is gathered in the browser-based forms, then moved into the InfoPath forms where available.  This combines the reach experience for initial data collection and the rich experience of interacting with that information via InfoPath.  Customers can use the same schema and Web services for both the InfoPath and ASP.NET solutions.

*  Work with one of the many partners that have developed solutions based on InfoPath including Sourcecode, Teamplate, Ultimus and Cardiff.

Lastly, under the terms of the licensing of open and royalty-free XML schemas for Office (including InfoPath, see http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/ip/format/), companies can create a
browser-based offering (or even a rich client, if desired) compatible with InfoPath.  Though we neither officially track nor endorse them, we believe that some third party ISVs have already taken advantage of this licensing to build solutions that generate HTML-based forms from InfoPath form templates.
See the InfoPath solutions directory (http://directory.partners.extranet.microsoft.com/advsearchresults.aspx?productscsv=23) for a listing of third-party solutions built on/for InfoPath.
