You don't need the "or nothing."
And the opposite happens if the customer’s choice is strictly limited to just simply buying a bundle.

I rarely disagree with A Stars, but this time I do. A choice requires at least two things. "Nothing" remains a valid choice. It's not like he has to purchase the bundle or face execution.

And I find "just simply" a bit off.

And the opposite happens when the customer's only option is to purchase a bundle or nothing.

BarbaraPA "Nothing" remains a valid choice.
But that is always a choice. I can go into a store, and choose to buy shoes, socks, a pineapple or a broom.
We rarely, if ever, list "nothing" as an explicit choice, because it is always just assumed. At least, that was my reasoning.

But since they are talking about bundling, it's not "you can buy Word or you can buy PowerPoint" but "you can buy "Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook" or nothing. You don't really have choices like you do in a store.

In the real work, you can buy shoes or socks, true. But in this case, you could buy heels-and-boots-and-flats-and-sneakers, or buy nothing at all, but you can't buy shoes O
