What's puzzling is that in the "what's in the box" section of the product page, which is where I look for this kind of "gotcha", there is no mention or photo of the stylus being included. I'm sure it is, but it seems like a colossal marketing oversight to not explicitly state that the pen is included in the box. And in the tech specs it states there is support for the surface pen...but again nothing about a pen being part of the tech specs. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productID.314885500 http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/productI...

I would assume that one of the pens would not be included then. Because it's specifically spelled out (and shown) as being included in the Surface 3 Pro.

  That is the case. All the way at the bottom of that page: [6] Surface Pen sold separately.

  The announcement page says pen wouldn't be included.

The pre-order page explicitly states that the stylus is not included. Tricky marketing!

It'll work with a finger or generic capacitive stylus just not be as accurate. Since they support both modes, they can leave the relatively expensive stylus out.
