If my regional settings for decimal is a comma, I get a comma in Excel 2003

I give up !

It has become clear to me that :

MS is making programs american programs for Americans !
MS couldn't care less about the "stupid" rest of the world.

I begin to understand the attitude of the European Commission versus MS.
