I agree but expect that Excel will be the very last app of the suite that they make web-only. Excel heads like my wife absolutely hate the web version.

- kaashif 3y agoA lot of people in finance are Excel heads and hate the web version. And they have a lot of money to throw around, surely Microsoft cares about them. I really don't see them killing the desktop version.
- pessimizer 3y agoI could see the prices going up to Bloomberg-terminal level, though, and everybody normal having to settle for Excel 365.
- rvba 3y agoThey are killing the deskrop version with sharepoint. Sharepoint and web-shared files make it very difficult to link spreadsheets between each other, even one way around. In theory it works, in practice it doesnt. (PowerQuery is an inconvenient stopgap to simple links)
- csdvrx 3y ago> Excel heads like my wife absolutely hate the web version. Have her try Excel 2010 or 2007 running on Wine (whether using WSL or natively) For people who want their spreadsheet offline, it's wonderful: fast and stable.
- pessimizer 3y agoThis is good news. I did not know this.
