You're mistaken if you think Microsoft doesn't compete directly with its partners. If anything, they are very sneaky how they do it, every ISV knows and yet still collaborates with them. SharePoint improvements have been built and

ok and what does all of this looks like when you're not comparing it against a race drone? Parent comment makes a good point I think, in that the Mavic line has never been geared towards "race drones" so comparing/judgin

In this case, then surely showing a calculator straight on the page allowing people to see what APR they would get based on their payment/sales configuration would make the whole process more transparent and easier to understand by peo
