Windows has it's own implementation of containers, and with a docker-like structure, and xlsx being a zip file, excel could simply have a dockerfile like structure "FROM excel-python:2023" "COPY xlsx:scripts/" etc. new versions of excel could keep the last few 'base' containers, or if they are in love with the cloud, the signed, verified base images could be pulled on request.


The latest Windows does, but Excel is used across tons and tons of devices, and you'd want compatibility across them all.
