What about Excel?
Authored by: Ipstenu on Jan 14, '05 10:00:21AM

Yeah, I've used NeoOffice (and a couple other freeware/open source sites). My real issues with them is that I'm picky about the interface (I like 90% of Mac's native stuff) and it's still in Beta. Also, I tried it once and had weird issues going between XP and OSX (it's not my fault! It's my work!) enough that I went back to MS Office.

But the point is this: If you're making an 'office' product with a 'powerpoint' tool and a 'word' tool, what sense is it to leave out 'excel'? More low tech users are likely to use a spreadsheet tool than a presentation one, and if you're pimping a MacMini for the masses, as well as an improved Pages tool, put in the spreadsheet.
