Error in Excel

I noted that 9*508697815467511(aka 9*5.08697815467511E14)=4578280339207599
but in Excel, it says 4578280339207600.

I want a refund!

I don't think Microsoft really cares about quants and scientists - I still can't plot in 3D or keep the elements in my graphs from resizing bizarrely when I copy and paste them, 12 years and 5 versions after I first wanted to.
