Phones can also run Python and web is already a pretty separate version, I don't see why they can't only make the web version cloud.
At least iPhone apps usually redirect Python tasks to their servers. That's one reason there are projects like Tensorflow Light.
For instance? All the python apps I've downloaded so far seem to function offline.
You can even get third party libraries, though it's limited compared to less restrictive environments.
You can look up Tensorflow Light.
That's just machine learning which is very resource consuming. It has no relation to your purported case of phones redirecting all python tasks to servers.
Okay, I dug more to find out I'm wrong.
But isn't ML technology a thing Excel offers with its new Python interface?
Not really. I don't expect them to have a cloud instance running that long.
Money, what else? Office 365 is a priority and this is an attempt to hasten adoption.
