Default Anyone have an idea of Excel use among versions?

Hi -
I have not yet found this on the web, wonder if someone else might have
some insight. I am particularly interested in the percentages (better
yet, numbers) of end-users who "almost always" (or only) use version
2003 versus those who "almost always" (or only) use 2007 (or later).
This tends to exclude folks like Rob Bovey and Chip Pearson, who likely
use everything back to Excel 5. E.g., is 70% Excel 2003, 30% Excel 2007
a reasonable guess?

Informed guesstimates are very much welcomed.

TIA - Dave B

And you might even get a different split between "what do you use at home/for
personal use" and what do you use at your office. Many large organizations
have forced the change-over to 2007, while the budgets at home don't
necessarily permit upgrading everytime a new version hits the streets. Same
for small businesses - their budgets generally don't permit upgrading every
30 days.

Me? Yeah, I've got virtual machines with 2000, XP, and 2007 on them, but my
primary tool both at home and at work is 2003. In truth, probably 98% of all
that I do, and even what my (few) clients do, could still be done with '97!

The only somewhat-related info I've seen lately is in Nick Hebb's blog,
article "Microsoft Excel Version Survey - 2009," at
