          It’s actually available for individuals now, the first time Microsoft has done this. Though it isn’t clear if Home versions most individuals would have is included, or if it’s for the Pro version only.

            Oh interesting! I was reading something recently that said MS had clarified that it was for businesses only, but that must have been an old article.
