You get what you pay for. Open office costs nothing, and I didn't
like it. I don't care why, Java or not. Excel does it better, and
yes, I have paid for it and helped reasing the 100 millions to
develop it. I have no problems with that.

I'm not going to upgrade my Excel. There's no need. When I buy my next
new computer I may purchase a new office bundle with it. As long as I
don't get the monster trucks popping up with every mistake I make, I
am sure I am going to enjoy it ;)
