Looks good, but it sure doesn't work like Excel 2000, not yet anyway.

The program that works like Excel 2000 the best will always be... Excel 2000.

The vast majority of Excel spreadsheets are just "data" without any macros,
and import into OO without difficulty. As soon as you start adding automation
to those Excel spreadsheets, though, you're venturing into waters where OO
might still be a good choice, but you definitely have to start planning on
spending time fixing things. This is true with any other spread that claims
to be able to import Excel files as well... although certainly some will tend
to be better or worse than OO in specific instances.
