It looks cool, that's for sure. You just gotta test it to see where those peaks fall, either with computer models and sims or cut-and-try physical models and measurements, or both.
What OS are you running now? I run all flavors of MS stuff, (almost literally) from Win98 to Vista. Really do, still have an old copy of Win98 running on one box because of its smaller footprint. I'm also running Ubuntu v10 (just upgraded from v9) and use OpenOffice on it. It has an Excel clone that runs spreadsheets pretty well, even has a VBA implementation that runs most of the macros. If you do file I/O in macros, some VBA rewrites are in order but basically, spreadsheets just work in most cases.
