Default how do i set decimal point like a calculator

There has been a change in 2003 with regards how you
enter using fixed decimal places, assume 2 decimal places
checked then in Excel 2002 entering 125. will return 125.00
thus the dot tells Excel not to set the decimals but in 2003
you need to enter an extra zero like 125.0 or else you'll get
1.25


Gotta to be a bug, right? What sick kid would think that a
general (default) option setting should override an explicit
decimal point in the data entry? Besides, hasn't MS ever
heard of "backward compatibility"? Okay, I know the answer
to that :-(. But I'm just saying: what sense can it ever make
to override the explicit decimal in data entry? This "must" be
a defect. Please report it to MS, if it is not fixed already.
