They have an option for "non microsoft" and it created my account, no problem.
Now I can buy Microsoft Company Merchandise all I want THANKS INQUIRER!!!
The black "I'M A PC" T-shirt is only $8 US that'll be my first purchase. Or maybe the one that has the dictionary definition for "Geek".

I'll be damned if I ever give Microsoft my credit card number for anything. They've already got their dirty hands elbow deep in my OS workings. Wait, that means they probably already have my CC number since I've bought something online. Well played Microsoft. Well played.

They have to know that no one will pay full list price when they can buy the same thing at Amazon for less, so they must have a plan to undercut stores with coupons or some other deal. 

Some thing like buy an MS mouse and find a coupon in the box for a Zune at less then the Amazon discount price. They get to sell stuff for more then the wholesale price and claim they are not undercutting the channel. 

Microsoft will stiff their partners for an extra buck anytime.

What about The Ultimate Steal? Didn't Microsoft sell its software heavily discounted to students? I seem to remember Ultimate Office Suite for 40 quid or something along those lines?

Wierd pic, especially the woman. Why is she sitting like that, when it looks like her pants are crotchless?

£169 for Premium are you kidding me it's only about £60 OEM, How they charge for this when it's digital download is beyond me there's no plastic casing, no CD/DVD to burn too, no delivery charge to shops no materials what so ever yet it's £169.

And Microsoft go on to say they believe Digital Downloads is the future over Blu-Ray media I think not.
