Excel 14's Release Date

[J.P.]

Excel 14 (2010) will be officially released in June, for those of you who may have been looking forward to easily increasing 2007's two-GB RAM limit. The 64-bit version will have an eight-terabyte limit.

Does anyone have any first thoughts testing the Excel 2010 technical preview or beta?

I'm wondering if the 64 bit version has any performance improvement on large spreadsheets (+10 mb)?

100 to 1 speed improvement with Excel UDF's.
Better brush-up on your C++ however.....to take advantage of them.
And don't expect crapware like IB's Excel spreadsheets to work much faster. They'll need to be totally rewritten.
