A 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.




They 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)


I could see the prices going up to Bloomberg-terminal level, though, and everybody normal having to settle for Excel 365.
