Some of the good things should not be reversed especially those that affects nature and environment.

You are vegetarian and you want a good cheese, no problem

Many vegetarians do not know that cheese has Rennet an enzyme harvested from the stomach linings of a calf.

If you are a vegetarian you will be looking for an alternative. I recently came across this cheese which uses a vegetarian alternative (Commercial so-called vegetable rennet usually contain rennet from the mold Rhizomucor miehei _Wikipedia.)to curdle the milk.

Parrano cheese from The Netherlands has vegetarian rennet. I do not know hat they use, perhaps proprietary. It tastes like Dutch Gouda cheese. I liked the cheese. Pretty tasty.

Which of the MS Excel versions support Power View?

Whether or not you will be able to use Power View, quite a useful feature to display interactive reports, depends on the Excel architecture.

Excel comes in the most popular and most common x32 bit version. Many add-ins are compatible with this version. At least that is the reason Microsoft offers for not installing x64 bit version of MS Excel. Also, both versions cannot co-exist, it is one or the other. 64bit Office can work on only x64 computers but this is not really serious we will be seeing fewer and fewer x32 bit computer. The way out is for Microsoft to take a bold step to bring these differences to a close.

People who have more complex worksheets require 64-Bit office 2013.
Power Views are only supported on these versions and SKUs:
