850*77.1 = 100,000?

Here’s an interesting piece of information that I was made aware today; apparently if you enter the equation “=850*77.1″ into Excel 2007, you will not be given the correct answer of 65,535 but instead, a completely ridiculous answer of 100,000.  Seeing as there are plenty of people and organizations that use Excel on a daily basis for calculations, this could be a major problem.
