Just Out of Interest

I was wondering, when Microsoft sit down to write the next version of
Excel, say for 2006, does anyone know how they decide what to add or

Yes is probably an unsatisfying reply, but Yes, of course. Those people are
not allowed to answer your follow-up question, so don't ask it.

Best wishes Harald

Ouch..It never hurts to ask though.

Maybe someone here does know and can say where they get ideas from. If I had

competitor's ideas, integrating with changes in other Office products...

If you search Google for "Microsoft Office 12", you may find rumours
about what will be in the new version.
