"Hey, Who Moved My (PowerPivot 2013) Cheese?"

I've been getting tons of questions about this - in email, twitter, on forums, etc.

The questions all go something like this: "Hey Rob I just bought Office 2013, went to enable PowerPivot, and it's not there! It was supposed to be included in 2013 right?"

It's a fair question of course. And yes, my original expectation was precisely that - it would be in 2013 for everyone.

Well the short version is that Microsoft took PowerPivot and Power View OUT of most versions of Office 2013.
