I was amazed when Excel 2007 upped the row limit from 65,536 rows 
to 1.1 million rows. (Excel 2010, when combined with the PowerPivot 
add-in, can now sort, filter, and pivot 100 million rows!) Combine the 1 
million rows with new charting, data visualizations, intelligent business 
diagrams, the SUMIFS function, Remove Duplicates, Page Layout view, 
table functionality, and Excel 2007 should have been the best-selling 
version of all time. 
But IT departments everywhere delayed rolling out Office 2007 because 
the familiar menus and toolbars had been replaced by the ribbon. 
Suddenly, all the commands that people knew where to locate were 
shuffled around. This was fine for people new to Excel, but it meant 
some time to get up the learning curve for the 500 million people already 
using Excel.
