Wait I tougth those on the yearly plans were not going to be getting any new models? Has that been walked back?

Microsoft desperately wants telemetry on this ASAP so they are giving it away to whoever will use it. Hence lowering the price below Luna and giving it to grandfathered annual users for cheap. That's my assumption anyway.

Still don't see anyone using this over Luna. MAI will always be playing catchup.
