Story: Can Linux break into banks?

Anonymous QT, I'm surprised you think excel is "a decent spreadsheet".
You should talk to the guys at Gnumeric about Excel's strong points. The lead developer started Gnumeric after finding that excel gets the wrong results in many of it's functions and talking to Microsoft about this in depth, discovered Microsoft didn't care. Too many people were relying on these wrong results for them to change excel functions now.
Gnumeric reimplements all the broken functions in excel, giving you the same busted answers, but if you actually want the right answer then give gnumerics working function a try. You might find your company really has know idea of it's current financials.
