I was very excited until I read this line

Python calculations run in the Microsoft Cloud, with the results returned into an Excel worksheet.

That’s an instant non starter for me.

Not to mention this integration seems very much focused around the graphing libraries of python and not using it for data processing. It’s not the ‘excel powered by python’ I dreamed of.

Any way they can find to shove even more azure in our faces, right? And later on "bundling is not monopoly abuse"

Edit: but we should love new Microsoft, because open source or something

And I assume one would have to pay extra for that cloud service. This is just another money grab by Microsoft.
