Excel--The End User Friendly Rich Client for Web Services?

StrikeIron recently announced the ability to integrate web services from their Business Network into Excel. Web services have been lacking an end user-friendly client for a while. Will this announcement from StrikeIron push Excel to fill that gap? We all know that Excel has always been the tool of choice for business analysts. Now that they can directly tap into reusable web services from Excel, maybe we'll really start to see the use of web services as true business services that are reusable by people on the business side instead of just developers.
