How would you address this scenario:

I have a web part that displays information from a legacy system. The information is very important to that system's user community -- so much so that it deserves to be displayed on the home page (WSS, not SPS). However, the legacy system user community is about 25% of the organizations employees. This 25% is influential, and mostly technology averse.

If the information applied to 100% (or somthing close to it) of the employees, then I would update the Shared View. But I would rather not subject 75% to an empty web part. And forcing the 25% to manually add the web part to their Personal View is a nonstarter.

I encourage comments/questions on my blog site.
