I don't see how jumping into the .NET crapola middleware is helping at all. It's just a waste of development resources, and is further chasing the MS moving target. Gates is laughing all the way to the bank on this one.
Instead of innovating a truely good spreadsheet working through our excellent Free Software tools, we waste time chasing the MicroSoft marketing stratergy which is DESIGNED to slow down the competition and drag everyone to the MS drumbeat.
Are those people stupid or just a brain washed.
