[QUOTE="CUZ28, post: 596189, member: 48645"] You are correct that Excel 2008 is a step backwards; however, the same can be said of Excel 2007. I have a class which uses Excel's solver function. After "upgrading" to 2008, I learned that this function was gone, so I had to reinstall 2004. Solver is still in 2007, but seems to be quite buggy. Report generation often fails. Very disappointed in Microsoft even if the new formatting for pivot tables is pretty spiffy. One of the posters mentioned the added cost aspect to dual booting with windows. Many universities have site licenses for Windows, so there may not be any extra expense to run Windows using bootcamp. [/QUOTE]
