Microsoft has finally launched an online store. The store allows you to buy real-life goods like hardware, software discs and Xbox 360 games. The service also allows you to directly download software, like Windows and Office. Microsoft has offered no word, however, if they’d send along physical discs with a digital download to ensure a handy reinstall down the road.

The store is a bit of a bare bones experience, having just started. Look for it to pick up in the months ahead.
