Perhaps it is would be easier for people to quickly dump a CSV file into
the Win32 version of R or Gnuplot.  R really does do nice graphics,
which can go back into Word/Powerpoint etc as JPEGs (with minimal
compression).  Not being a Windows/NT user, I don't know whether they might
even be able to be dropped directly in via the clipboard?  The localised
regression fitted curves on scatter plots may or may not be useful, but
they do look cool ;).  It would be pretty easy to automate drawing of
the simpler plots.
