Jeff, as you have no doubt realised, the IEEE is a secretive, subversive
organisation with no known headquarters (they keep on the move to escape the
authorities). Why did Microsoft ever collude with these evildoers???

Hopefully Microsoft will start to see the error in their ways.

I demand action!

David, I appreciate your commitment to the notion that there could not
possibly be a solution to the problem, and that we should all accept
incorrect mathematical results.

Meanwhile, even my fourth grade child knows that .30 - .29 =
.0100000000000

But yes, David, let's adapt to the machines, and not make the machines
adapt
to us.

Also: the customer is always wrong.

Happy now?

This is NOT some calculation to the nth place or an atomic weight.

This is: .29 - .28

Instead of returning the correct answer of 0.01, Microsoft Excel
returns
0.00999999999999995

This floating point excuse for can not be blamed for poor product
quality.

Does Microsoft ever plan to repair its product, or should it only be
used
for calculating federal budget numbers?
