The version announced at the Expo was version 1.5, and it's function-compatible
with the PC version of Excel. Version 2.0, due out sometime later this year,
will have all of the features of the PC version. As for the current version:
according to Microsoft, there was no official 1.05 release, since they
didn't want to confuse people with 1.05->1.5. The last version before 1.5
was supposed to be 1.06, and anything you have marked 1.05 is supposed to
be a beta.

This is just what I was told. If I'm wrong, I welcome the correction.
