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

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.

For sure not. It built Microsoft.

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

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