Introducing the Microsoft Store UK and Germany
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and follow me on Twitter. Thanks for visiting!
Today we launched the Microsoft Store in both the UK and Germany. We’ve been building up to this launch for quite some time so it’s exciting to see us bring this to fruition.
With these 2 stores, consumers can buy and download Microsoft products like Windows Vista, Office and Expression. The availability of this new direct to consumer option is an awesome thing for users in those countries as it gives them another trusted source for buying Microsoft software and offers them the option of having the convenience of Electronic Software Download (ESD).
