SAP BO 4 Web Intelligence main disadvantages

I found 3 disadvantages in new Web Intelligence which disappointed me, because in BO 3.1 i didn't meet these problems.

1) Every time, when i am creating new report, this report has bad option - "retrieve duplicate rows" by default. - There is currently no way to set the default option for this. It is
on by default. You can use Idea Place (ideas.sap.com) to submit an
enhancement request to allow this setting to be controled.

2) When I created chards and saved them in Excel - they are saved as pics, unfortunately. - 

This is by design. I have attached kb 1664009 that explains this.
1664009 - Web Intelligence charts are converted to image in Excel on BI4.0 environment


Symptom

  • Charts are automatically converted to the closest corresponding chart format available in Excel on XI3.1 environment
  • Charts are converted to image in Excel on BI4.0 environment
Environment
  • SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform 4.0

Reproducing the Issue
  1. Logon InfoView on XI3.1.
  2. Create a document with one chart by using eFashion universe.
  3. Export the document to Excel.
  4. Find chart is automatically converted to the closest corresponding chart format available in Excel.
  5. Logon BI launch pad.
  6. Repeat step2,3.
  7. Find chart is converted to image in Excel on BI4.0 environment.

Resolution
This behavior on BI4.0 is by design.
