It's called "marketing". It's also called ATS. They don't want to release everything in DXP up front, because then they will have nothing to add in later, and you will feel robbed of your ATS fees. This stuff happens elsewhere too. Windows XP Home doesn't log into domains. W9X does. M$ removed that feature and makes you pay for it by upgrading XP Home to XP Pro. Luckily, I don't have XP on any machines around here or at my home...won't be getting it either, unless I buy a new laptop (not anytime soon).
