I have heard many say they much prefer 2003. 2010 just came out. But the word is that Microsoft made the least amount of changes to Excel versus every other program in the suite from 2007. Some new features include collaborative editing and minigraphs shown in an individual cell.
The only reason Goldman get the most revenue is because they're the only bank that uses 2007.
That probably is the reason.
I think technology tends to stick when the most recent MDs are put into place. I know at Lazard that they still use the HP12c calculator because the MDs are old, and don't want to take the time to learn newer models.
