Are the Office Web Components broken and dead?

Question

According to this article on Wikipedia®:

"The Pivot Table and Spreadsheet web components do not function on Windows 7."

Is this going to be fixed?

I thought it would be faster. Also, I trust SO more than Microsoft. — Homer, Dec 09 '10 at 20:29
That article only apply to OWC11, try your luck by switching to OWC10 or OWC12 (though if the problem is related to Windows 7's change in UAC or MSOLAP the other versions may not work). — Sheng Jiang 蒋晟, Aug 24 '11 at 17:01

After personally testing the OWC on Windows 7, it does appear broken.

I totally disagree. I can use OWC in a WEBPAGE quite easily. It works flawlessly on Windows 7. On the other hand, I can't use OWC inside of an Access form because I use Office 2010 64-bit.
