For close to the price of the single SIM 950 at the Microsoft store here in the UK (£249 vs £250.26) you can have the dual SIM version.
This, of course, could be used for a personal and a business SIM on one phone, but it will probably get used for covering up making 'special' phone calls.
This has the Continuum dock, and we can all hope that Microsoft learns to spell or will teach us to pronounce their new word. At least they won't get sued this time for copyright infringement. Probably.
Vote hot, vote cold because it isn't an iPhone or Android or a personal lease vehicle or your other half just yelled at you or you're a bored teenager and think voting cold is cool.
And if you are tempted to get the 10% off because you are a 'student' you lose the dock.
So there.

To make iPhone users not feel so bad for being ripped off so much.

It is basically dead at the moment - 1st quarter 2016 Windows phone were 0.69% ( yes less than 1% !) of worldwide sales - Android phones have 84.11%. Windows phones peaked at less than 3% in 2014 and it has been downhill ever since.

So wish it was somewhere near this price when it came out. I would have one instead of this iPhone. I miss windows phone.

Anything you don't want the other half, or your boss, or your kids, or the government, or the Inland Revenue to find out about

The question is will we get the Continuum dock if we order this from Microsoft France? Do they bundle it in or do we have to redeem?

You do get the dock, I spoke with them and it was automatically added to my order when I checked out.
Transcript of the important bit:
You: Hello, does the 950 dual sim come with the dock when I buy it as a student?
You: I am in the UK
Brad: Thank you, one moment while I check that for you.
Brad: So at this time, it looks like the Display Dock is only available for non-student purchases of the phone. The Student discount isn't combinable with other offers and the same would apply to the free dock offer.
You: Ok, so if I want the dock, I pay full price?
Brad: For the student discount it would be the full price, however I would recommend getting the phone without the student discount to get the dock as it's a better offer between the two.
You: Thank you
And here is the receipt, sort of, in a bad formatting
