    Used excel to track positions early on. A lot of copy paste to/from matlab. Eventually had a perl cgi page running; zero security, open to the world

    MS has already banned spreadsheets. They said that if traders need to tweak prices or do ad hoc calculations, they can use a paper and a pencil. Less risk of mathematical errors that way.

    Excel having extra capabilities doesn't make excel bad. More value has been created by excel than lost in the 3 examples in your original article.
