[...] Microsoft has released few interesting add-ins for their Office products. Yesterday I wrote about a Word add-in that enables the annotation of scientific documents using bio-ontologies and controlled…. Today I learned about their latest add-in for Excel, NodeXL, which enables user to create and [...]

I could not agree more, but their restricted open licensing terms might be a big hurdle for external contributors and early adopters. Lets see how it goes.

Thanks for you comment. I guess for bioinormaticians this is definitely a terrible news but for biologist I think this is quite a good feature. Writing your own code is always good but not for every small requirement and often biologist have to be dependent on bioinformatics programmer. In Chemistry R&D Excel is used widely for different things, in fact there are Excel add-ins for chemistry such as ISIS Excel and JChem for Excel and I always I wondered why no one given a thought to develop Excel extensions for bioinformatics. On other note I think this is very good to have quality competition here, there is lot of space for everyone and these projects are open source so overall its good thing.

That would be terrible, I don’t want people to use excel to do bioinformatics… I really hope they won’t continue with these plans for bioinformatics, considering all the wrong deeds and problems that Microsoft caused in other fields..
