Yep, I think Excel is the best thing to ever come out of Redmond, period. However there's nothing about Excel that won't eventually be done better elsewhere, I look forward to its eventual replacement, as I was a Lotus 1-2-3 fan before MS coded Lotus out of their private universe. Change is inherent in all compounded things. This is a good thing. The MS product line is quite stagnant and the only enhancement approach they seem to have any more is to hang more knobs and lights on their products. Word is so festooned with features that I suspect that it is a productivity drain as a result, I see far too much handsomely formatted stuff that could have been handled in a plain text email. PowerPoint is the worst waster of time I know of. I think it's later in the game for MS than you might think. Consider IBM in the late 80s and I think you will have a clearer idea of what MS shall become.
