I think it does actually have pivot tables - I remember someone
demonstrating them. I think they're called Data Navigator or something
different, but they are the same in function AFAIK.

It is pretty rocking. The increased Gnome integration coming post 1.1
thanks to the Ximian work is also looking very, very good - for example,
Gnome vfs has been integrated so that you can access files directly on
fileservers without having to mount them, etc.

Cheers,

Alex.
