Microsoft Discovers E-Commerce
With only 12 day left to go before the Great Vista Rollout to consumers on January 30 and missing no trick, Microsoft said late Wednesday that it would break with its tradition of boxed or pre-loaded software and supply the thing online. It's come up with three ways for customers to buy, upgrade or license multiple copies of Vista over the net: Windows Anytime Upgrade, Windows Marketplace and Windows Vista Family Discount. The Windows Anytime Upgrade will let people upgrade their existing edition of Vista to a fancier one by clicking the Windows Anytime Upgrade option in the Start menu, selecting what they want, buying it online and getting a new digital key that unlocks the code, which is already on their machine, and then following the on-screen instructions to boot the upgrade.
