Not trying to defend MS but I don't follow why you regard the above as 
'undocumented changes . . . users have to guess at'.

Before each new version the Excel team announce and discuss most planned 
changes. On release a full list of changes, new features and any decremented 
methods, is published on relevant MS sites and widely mirrored and discussed 
elsewhere.

SaveAs PDF or XPS is hard to miss in Excel 2007 when you look at File / 
SaveAs

The introduction of 64bit Office has been since its inception and continues 
to be one of the most widely discussed and documented changes by MS and 
elsewhere. That said if you only ever use 32bit Excel you don't need to know 
anything about it. VBA7 can cater for a few special 64bit requirements 
should you need them, mainly for use with APIs. Otherwise VBA7 is 
effectively VBA6 even in 64bit Excel.
