Default Excel 2007 vs. Excel 2003

A "must have", eh? For me there is no killer feature that I must have. Sure,
there are improvements in conditional formatting, pivot tables and charts,
more rows and columns, etc. Some of the charting functionality of Excel 2003
is defective in 2007, and the interface is designed for beginners, not for
helping competent users become increasingly productive. The documents sure
look nice, though.

Before upgrading, carry out your due diligence by scanning these groups, and
read about the problems that many of the early adopters are having. Decide
if these issues matter to you, and whether the extra rows and columns and
bells and whistles are worth upgrading for.

Other than the GUI improvements and the unbreakable security,
can anyone comment on any other improvements in Excel 2007 vs. Excel
2003 ?
Any significant VBA enhancements or Add-in enhancements ?- Hide quoted text -

Hmmm....this is not good news. Has Microsoft been informed of the
charting "glitches" or behavior differences ?
Also, has anyone benchmarked Excel 2007 vs. 2003 as far as calculation
performance ?
I am worried that the additional columns/rows may have had an adverse
impact.

For some of us, the unbreakable "Vista-like" security is a huge
one....I keep checking with the Russian hackers and nope, they've not
be able to break it....to date.
