Programability in Excel 2007 Beta 1 is Poor

I'm quite disappointed about the programability of Excel 12 from a developer point of view, but I gave it a try again and installed the latest Office System 2007 Beta 1 today.

The security control of ActiveX and Marco are pretty strong (In short, it disable everything and we have to adjust the settings in the new "Trust Center" panel):

HOWEVER, I can't even launch the VBA editor by pressing Alt+F11 nor View Code button:

Is it a feature come with Excel 12 by default so that no one can view or execute the VBA?

Works fine in Excel for me.

The security changes are probably going to force a lot more people to acquire authenticode certificates which is a bit expensive, 500$ a year at Verisign.
