This is good stuff. Excel was (and in many ways still is) extremely well designed UI-wise (thanks for that).

In fact a lot of windows is (up to 7), and MS can be very good at UIs when they try. It's remarkable what an extraordinary amount of work went into making the interface usable without a mouse - for example, selecting something in the taskbar without a mouse:

Press ctrl-esc, press escape, press tab, then press the right arrow to move along the taskbar, the press return when you're on the one you want. It is actually logical too!
