   For those who haven’t actually purchased Microsoft’s bloatware yet, go for “Open office” or, my new favourite, “Libre Office”!! Maybe not as powerful, but bloody close, and “Free”!! 🙂

      Really you’re still calling MSFT products bloatware? Office is awesome and loads instantly on my workhorse laptop as do all the other office programs I need. Open office doesn’t play nice in my corporate environment plus share point is used 24/7 in my company so it doesn’t do the job either.

      I swear open-source people are like hippies. Yeah you can live in the wild(open-source) and make/customise anything you want but would you bother doing that for the rest of your life. Also I think people who use Linux fail to see that if Oracle were as large as Apple/MSFT they would be the same anyway. Look at Google and how they’ve changed.

         Actually I’m not a Linux person, I do use it on my netbook but that’s because Windows isn’t the best fit there. As for “MSFT products” I stopped using “MS Office” awhile ago, so I’m not up to date on how it runs on 7, but having thought about it, maybe calling the latest version “bloatware” might have been a knee jerk reaction! However, I still won’t be using it any time soon because of the cost, as I mentioned earlier “O’O” and “Libre” are free!! not necessarily the pervue of hippies, just people who don’t want to spend a fortune on a product that isn’t good enough to be be the be all and end all of Office Suits…!!

         Not sure what Oracle has to do with anything?
         Oracle only owned OpenOffice for a short period since the Sun acquisition and then they flogged it off to the Apache foundation. To be honest Oracle is no small fry in the market they have revenues in excess of 35 billion higher than your example of Google.

      All software has to have built-in limits, the trick is to set the limits outside what most users will ever come across. A list of the current limits in excel are here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/excel-specifications-and-limits-HP005199291.aspx

      You’ll note that ‘Number Precision’ is 15 digits, which means the 16th digit onwards of any number will blank to 0’s. I guess people who need to work with numbers above one quadrillion don’t use excel for the job.
