It's someone else, high up, who puts the packages together, who made what I believe to be the world's worst mistake. I appreciate those products, you've seen me rave about those products. My friends, who create Excel, did not do this.

Even Office 2013 Professional, with a $399 list price, doesn't include PowerPivot. PowerPivot is freely available to anyone with a copy of Excel 2010, but Microsoft took PowerPivot out of almost all versions of Excel 2013 - apparently as an incentive to force PowerPivot users to rent Office 360 E3 at $240 per year. I've already written about the way Microsoft has buried PowerPivot, 'the best new feature to hit Excel in 20 years,' according to 'Mr. It turns out there's a trick that people in the know have been using for years to comply, quite precisely, with the rules and pick up any VL software they might want for a song. VLs are expensive, cumbersome, and not for the faint of heart, the story goes. Most people think of Microsoft volume licenses as the province of big companies - as Microsoft's way of keeping the hoi polloi from buying some of its fancier products.
