There's a new page on the Burns Statistics website
http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Tutor/spreadsheet_addiction.html
that looks at spreadsheets from a quality assurance perspective. It
presents R as a suitable alternative to spreadsheets.  Also there are
several specific problems with Excel that are highlighted, including
the status of statistical functionality in Excel.
