And it isnt all that surprising that Microsoft didn't have a store, alot of places still prefer you go to the middleman (the store) to make purchases, especially since they can then ship in bulk instead of in single-servings. Sometimes you dont want to have every industry under your company's belt. But way to go Microsoft. Also, downloading software is nice, and sure, more than 5 years would be great, but its unlikely most people will even use one version of software for greater than five years (unless its Windows XP)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John P]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 9:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft debuts Microsoft Store in apparent attempt to sell stuff]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/microsoft-debuts-microsoft-store-in-apparent-attempt-to-sell-stu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/microsoft-debuts-microsoft-store-in-apparent-attempt-to-sell-stu/</guid><description><![CDATA[pleasantly surprised to see a huge Gears of War 2 banner on the main page when I was expecting a stock photo of a nerd with his arms crossed standing next to MS Office.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[konshuss]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 14th 2008 9:30AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Microsoft debuts Microsoft Store in apparent attempt to sell stuff]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/microsoft-debuts-microsoft-store-in-apparent-attempt-to-sell-stu/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/14/microsoft-debuts-microsoft-store-in-apparent-attempt-to-sell-stu/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yea, its actually a real nice site.
