Marketing. Theyd never do that.

Could also be a bulk licensing requirement. Ms pulled that shit with DOS.

It's weird how the price drops when something "included' gets removed. Am I misunderstanding that word?

They said it was included, not that it was free. I imagine removing the “included” screen would drop the price too.
