At least for me "professional Excel users" sent out stuff that I could not open, and that is not good for the for the platform.

"Spreadsheet macros" were like hot personal computing shit in 1983. Really not good if you cannot create them in 2008. , (Few complaints about the current Mac MS Office, FWIW) I'm just saying that breaking old stuff often takes year to fix.
