Their features don't really match up with what POI is versus their 
product but I find it pretty interesting.
They seem to lag a little behind us, I suspect they probably get their 
excel support by "innovating" from our
sources.  Last time I went, they couldn't even generate an excel 
spreadsheet from scratch.  Now they can.
They still can't do any formulas, etc, though.  I'm wondering what the 
full featureset is.  

Anyhow, I think this is a great sign and mark of success for the 
project.  While $1000 bucks a CPU is way less than
Actuate's $15K, its still a great deal more than POI and too much for 
what it does in my opinion.

At some point I hope some folks do more constructive comparisons 
(including *real* features that are applicable to POI
like "formula support" or what have you) between POI and other 
commecial/non-commercial products.  I'd love to have that
on our site somewhere.
