David Szetela noted the launch yesterday in his blog (http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/080108-233158).

I received a copy of Excell 2007 with it added in - mail came this morning.

Will play and get back but it looks like it may give some good results.

Yea, keep us posted please on how you like it...

Oh, you still accept things via snail mail?

lol... I am old school

just read about it on a blog yesterday. can't wait to hear more about it (no time to test it myself at the moment, plus Im not a big spender (actually a non-spender lol) so I wont receive a copy of Excel 2007 for free).

P.S.: I read something about a demo version of Excel 2007 being available for free which would do the trick, too (at least for a while?). Does anybody know about that?

Yes you can get a 60 day trial.... http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/FX100487621033.aspx

cool, thx Aussiwebmaster, I'll get the 60 day trial in about a month (when my exam time is over).

Are the search volumes of that tool any reliable or are they off as much as we're used to from other keyword tools?

P.S.: One thing Ive been wondering for a while: When it comes to gaining user data (which many people believe will be used by search engines in the future), doesn't Microsoft have an edge over Google no matter what they try? Couldn't they get tons of user data from the browser that is most widely in use (IE)?
