Gnumeric Now Supports All Excel Worksheet Functions

unmadindu writes "The latest beta release of Gnumeric has been released. According the the developers, it is now ready and stable enough for general use and deployment, and the final 1.2.0 release will be made on September 8th. This release also marks the realization of a major milestone -- all of the worksheet functions in the U.S. version of MS Excel are now supported. I have been using 1.1.19 for quite some time now, and it is incredibly fast, and hugely improved compared to Gnumeric 1.0."

Fast molasses ?

I hope so. The old version that I use my favourite spreadsheet on (a veritable beast, admittedly) slows my box down to a withered crawl.

When the slashdot rush dies down, I'll download it - and see if the dependency frenzy dictates a weeks worth of updates (and a month of fixing once perfect routines), or downloading and installing a new version of linux. And then spend three months to get things working again, before giving up on a couple of them because improvements won't admit them.

Well. It is still better than the alternative. Very.

Or, as Trent Reznor eloquently put it "I've found you can find happiness in slavery".
Calling Bill Gates an innovator (in the grandparent) is like calling Bill Clinton an honorable man.
