If MS does data locking, I too will just have to stick to MS8.01> Its
not too bad. My own opinion of MS went downhill after I realized how
poorly the Enhanced system tester is configured coming out of the box
to the person hoping to use it that way.. and then when I got Power
Pivots Tools I realized afterwards that it went back into the past
and changed pivots as it gathered more data.. there were no warnings
anywhere.. and the system tester for Power Pivots Plus was horribly
screwed up.. made me realize that these guys don't have my best
interest at heart - all they want is a buck..
If MS wants to change its program to MS10.0 it would be far better
served taking inputs and ideas from people from this forum, working
on the upgrade and beta testing it with a few folks here.. and then
releasing a clean version.. My bet is a bunch of people would get the
upgrade.
I for one would love to see a Enhanced system tester that is a lot
cleaner and works to backtest portfolios. That would be a good start.
Not really sure what MS9.0 does with sectors. I have my folders
already by sector and did not really want to mess them up with
downloading MS9.0.. so I stayed away from it. Can't say that i feel
like 9.0 offers me any real benefits.
If Reuters wants to offer data service, it might want to focus on
Forex; although if I went that way, I like Norgate and Richard Dale's
service.. it was very nice.. seamless Forex data into MS8.01.
I don't subscribe to it currently as I do not trade Forex. Probably
will in a couple of years.
