Microsoft launches online store in USA

Microsoft has announced the launch of their online store in the US market.

The company already operate similar stores in U.K., Korea, and Germany.

This store has on offer Microsoft’s software products like Windows OS, MS Office and games in addition to hardware products like the Xbox 360.

Users get the option to download the software products in addition to order them through DVDs.

Users would get access to the downloads for a long period of time in case they need it again in the future.

Digital downloads are available through their service Electronic Software Download.

A company representative spoke about this storefront: “Lastly, in a world where lighter weight laptops, such as netbooks, are becoming more common, ESD makes things easier when an optical drive isn’t easily accessible. The first thing I do when I setup a new machine at home, is to run Windows update, and download all the freeware I use such as 7-zip. By extending ESD to Microsoft software, we’re able to increase convenience across the board for a variety of customers, regardless of whether they are using a speedy desktop gaming PC, or the latest netbook.”
