Has anyone found any easter eggs in the 2007 version like there were in previous versions of excel?

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
Microsoft has been slowly eliminating Easter Eggs in their products... here is John Wlakenbach's page on Excel Easter Eggs, with no mention of anything in 2007.

For a number of reasons, Microsoft has cracked down on Easter Eggs in its programs. First, an Easter Egg may inadvertently introduce a security breach into the application. Second, it is unprofessional to be adding Easter Eggs when there are important features which cannot be added due to limitations on time and resources. I have heard that MS will fire an employee who inserts an Easter Egg into an appication.

Makes sense to me... I always wondered who could possibly have the time to put Easter Eggs in program when they can't spend the effort to fix the bugs before releasing it...
