> Microsoft has retroactively removed the ability of companies to turn off access to the Windows Store in its Windows 10 Pro version.

Yes but by "upsell" you mean "extort by way of feature removal after the product was purchased".

I suspect that the removal is actually an artifact of them saying that later versions of Windows will be incremental updates to Windows 10. Normally they would just wait until Windows 11 to make the change, but since they can't do that any more, they just roll it out in an update.

Yeah it was a bait-and-switch for small businesses.

Hey, at least they haven't started encrypting hard drives as an upgrade incentive.
