"I don't think I will buy Office just to be able view that URL."

Sorry if the Office offended your feeling. If you are
investing in part of PC industry, you should not be
so Windows/Office impaired.

You also can go to the root of the URL and find out
some more useful stuff:

icknowledge.com
icknowledge.com

You do have alternatives, you know.

If you're running Linux, I've had great use of Gnumeric (I haven't used the latest versions). It's part of the GNOME project and completely free.

If you're a Windows guy, there are still a few options. Star Office (Sun) allows for importing xls files, as does Easy Office Premium (there's a free version, which is somewhat limited in functionality and may or may not be able to import Excel spread sheets).

Gnumeric
gnome.org

Star Office
staroffice.com

Easy Office
e-press.com

KSpread should run that puppy just fine. It's open source and runs just great on any AMD processor (to keep it O(n)Topic!) :)

Gopher Broke,

Kind of amusing after the discussion about the evil monopoly. I don't think I will buy Office just to be able view that URL.

You can download Excel viewer for free: office.microsoft.com
