You're quite right. Export to .CSV does enable opening in Excel, and this is an option for both the Mac and PC versions, I notice. I missed that option because it turned out I was still working with the old version of TPA, not 2.0. My apologies! I suppose it is also worth mentioning that one can export grades directly into WebCT or Blackboard gradebooks. As you've also noted, the Question List editor is a useful feature that makes PowerPoint access unnecessary. This is especially critical to Mac users, locked out of PowerPoint use for the time being, whose approach to polling required use of a text editor. In any case, I would continue to emphasize these new features in the new version, as you're already doing in this blog, perhaps with a series of focused blogs on selected new features.
