Well I've done a little dabbling into Quattro Pro 3.0.  Of course I'm using a
25 MHz 386 (4Meg), but thats not important.  I've been quite impressed by the
WYS (what you see is what you get) mode (for VGA only).  I despise Windows,
so I'm not up on Excel for PC's.

I do, however, like QPRO3.0 on the PC better than Excel on a Mac.  The neatest
thing about Quattro is using the Graph editor.  It adds alot if not all of 
the features from Excel to Q.  Of course you can take the graph you created
and paste it into the actual body of your spreadsheet.  It will also
automagically scale the graph to fit into whatever block you select.

If you want to get really fancy, just create a Spreadsheet/Graph in Quattro
and save it.   Then bring the file into Word Perfect 5.1 and add some 
more text and graphics.  note: this opinion is biased due to my passionate
dislike for MS-Windows.
