Microsoft Waste of Space
Microsoft Excel in Office X is a joke. You can't round-trip your data via CSV...
Try this: open a .xls file, save it as .csv, close the original, and then open the .csv file. Assuming you have the same Microsoft experience as me, you'll get the following error:
SYLK: file format is not valid.
Great. Thank goodness I have OpenOffice installed. It may not be the latest version, and it may have to run under X11 rather than natively in OS X, but at least it works.
