Tim, You might also like the openoffice.org spreadsheet. It has come a long way in the last year, and can read excel files pretty well and write them with some degree of success. Openoffice is like StarOffice, but released under a more gpl-like license, and without the much-criticized, confusing interface of StarOffice.
I like openoffice because it can read msoffice-formatted files with a greater degree of security--the macro-viruses will presumably break in openoffice or staroffice. Also, you can easily export a document for someone who only has one of the older versions of msoffice. What advantage have you found with the xml format? I think openoffice has some sort of xml features, but I can not figure out why I would need xml yet, especially since most xml I've seen is polluted with binary data.
