The hell of it is, Microsoft does provide controls that you can plug into IE and IIS and ASP and all that that will let you do exactly what they wanted to do -- honest-to-God drag&drop COM graph objects that they could lift from the web page and put into Excel. If only you go the 100% Microsoft route.

There's a very important lesson in this statement that the free software / open source world will have to learn if it ever intends to neuter Microsoft.

Just thought I'd throw in my (very off-topic) 2 cents.
