Apparently they're starting online stores in The Netherlands, Japan, France and Spain "soon". Could be interesting. Now I want to see a client for this thing in Windows, integrated with Microsoft Update. In other words, exactly like Steam.

Oh, and if I bought Office in a store, I want to be able to enter the CD Key and download it from the website, in case my disc breaks. Also exactly like steam. Tongue Out
Oh, and to take that one step further, since they offer the ability to download vista, what about being able to enter the CD key, and being able to download a slipstreamed install file?  That way if you have to reformat, all of the updates are already there.
