If you read carefully, it says you need internet access for
internet functions. 'Fees might apply' refers to the fact you'll probably have to pay for your internet.
So what functions? Things like the online Microsoft help, etc.
So it DOESN'T mean you need the internet to use its 'core' functions.
As for cloud computing, that's partly a reaction to the costs involved in the infrastructure for running a business of any 'medium/large' size. They're very large costs.
