    “in the cloud”

    Well, the firm I work for won’t ever implement it then. Back to pandas, nothing to see here.

      Microsoft has been slowly building toward requiring these subscriptions for enterprise for some time now. That is where Windows365 is ultimately going at an enterprise level, management just doesn’t realize it yet or are aware of how powerless they are to stop it.

      Because Microsoft should’ve been broken up in the 90s. They definitely need to be broken up now. Same with a number of companies really, but Microsoft has a unique position to really hold enterprise and government by the balls.

        It sucks for my company because a lot of our work is fieldwork and done in the bush where we have no Internet connectivity so these features are useless to us.

    Mfs have been promising that functionality for like 10 years and now that they delivered is tied to their cloud service. Too fucking late for me, im already using pd.read_excel() -> df.to_excel() as my workflow for almost everything.

      Well one thing we can all agree on: it is a blessing to non-working capitalists who own huge stakes of Microsoft.

      Because this will require expensive per-seat subscriptions to their Power Platform or Azure Services. And if Power Platform is any indication, likely some features of Python will be gated behind per-use models on top of that.
