During my time at Web 2.0 conference someone had brought up the lack of a Microsoft store for its products. I had the same thought a while ago but was corrected by one of my colleagues that we in fact do have a store that is just poorly advertised.

Unfortunately I totally forgot the URL and actually had a real hard time trying to find this link until today. I found it thanks to a Microsoft blog that talks mostly about our free software offerings but also mentions the store.
