Download Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007 at Windows Marketplace
Today, we officially announced that on January 30th, 2007, Windows Vista upgrades and Microsoft Office 2007 editions will be available to buy & download from Windows Marketplace. We are very excited as this will be a new step for Microsoft, as we previously sold Windows only on packaged discs or pre-loaded on computers.
From our press release:
“Starting Jan. 30 and working with retail partners, Windows Marketplace will offer the following upgrade editions of Windows Vista and full versions of the 2007 Microsoft Office release at suggested retail prices:
· Windows Vista Business
· Windows Vista Home Basic
· Windows Vista Home Premium
· Windows Vista Ultimate
· Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007
· Microsoft Office Professional 2007
· Microsoft Office Standard 2007
Windows Vista editions offered through Windows Marketplace are available in English only, in either 32-bit or 64-bit versions. Windows Marketplace visitors also can find a wide variety of Windows-compatible hardware and software, including products carrying the Certified for Windows Vista logo, which are tested to ensure superior reliability and quality when running on Windows Vista."
The Microsoft software downloads will be available at Windows Marketplace via our free download tool, the digital locker. To learn more about the digital locker, visit our digital locker showcase.
If you're planning on buying Windows Vista or Office 2007, mark your calendar for January 30, 2007 and come to Windows Marketplace.
