They might have updated the page since he posted this, but on the front page of Xbox Game Pass there is a dedicated link at the top that says "Game Pass For PC (beta)". I clicked the link and followed it all the way to the end. (The PC version has the $1/month price.) Got charged $1. No issues (I already have the May update installed).
So it's possible they fixed things in the few hours after the article was launched.
Or it's possible that Shamus clicked the wrong link.
Given the amount of work that would be involved in fixing everything, it's simply more likely that Shamus clicked the wrong link at the beginning. That would also be consistent with him not seeing the $1 intro price later since it's repeated on nearly every page of the signup process...
