I'm pretty sure they've been doing that for a long time. The other more business focused OEMs too.
Indeed but it's rarely available to the general public. They don't mind selling 2000 units to a business with dedicated IT support. They (used to) totally draw the line at providing individual support to individual customers.
In my experience (France), buy it while you can because it pops from time to time & disappears without warning.
In my experience in Germany it's just available. Only for the business focused models, but still.
