MS has pulled the plug on Windows PE licensing globally

I just wanted to inform people that over in the Macrium Forum, it was stated that:

Macrium has 6 months left on their license.

Now when you purchase a software program like Macrium Pro or Todo Backup Professional, you will no longer be able to get a WIN PE iso included. The only available option now is to download the AIK (huge) and build it using a wizard in the program as Todo free does now.

I think this is kind of stupid on MS's part, but I guess I could see this coming when they forced the removal of the Windows 7 and Vista recovery iso's.
