Not right out of the box, but there will be an add-in called MSN® MoneyCentralTM Stock Quotes on the Office Update Download Center that uses the new RTD architecture to make it possible to asynchronously get stock quotes from the MoneyCentral Web site. (To download the Stock Quotes add-in, go to the Office Update Download Center. To learn how to use the Stock Quotes add-in, go to the Office Assistance Center). Note that the Stock Quotes add-in only uses a fraction of the RTD features, and it isn’t providing real-time data in the traditional sense. Instead, the add-in offers a button that tells it to fire off a request to MoneyCentral. When the request returns, the RTD server that is built into the add-in lets Excel know that it has new data. When Excel is ready for the new data, it calls into an interface on the RTD server, and the RTD server hands over the new values.
