A Problem with OOXML?

edited July 2007 in Everything Else
SO I'm looking around on slashdot and I found an article that basically says that the Excel part of Office 2007 is horribly wrong and has massive errors that keep it form even doing trig functions correctly. Since I have Office 2007, I am understandably concerned.

Rather than immediately jump on the "Microsoft is evil, rablerablerable..." wagon, I would like to ask if any one

1) can confirm or deny, and

2) if anyone knows if anything is being done about it.


In related news, I have heard the Powerpoint and Word in 2007 have incompatible formula tools. Confirm or deny?

    Use OpenOffice.

    I can't. I have to use Microsoft Office for my job, and I use it at home for compatibility.

    OpenOffice has pretty good compatibility with MSOffice. Unless you're doing really really weird things, it'll work.
