Would be nice if started with Linux as "included" and then added the 211 for windows.

If they did that sales would drop because people would switch to another manufacturer that gave them Windows for "Free".

honestly I prefer being able to subtract from the base price and have it actually be an improvement too

Marketing. Theyd never do that.

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

Thought DOS was free

For sure not. It built Microsoft.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

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