Maybe Vista Is Big at Wal-Mart?

I get all kinds of stuff in my e-mail (you can only imagine!), but intrigued with today's Wal-Mart Wire, which featured -- can you believe it! -- Windows Vista! (Wire is the weekly e-flyer from the big bad boy of retailing.)

Now I don't know about you, but I still connect buying software with computer retailers like CompUSA or CE big box stores like Best Buy or buying it on a vendor's site and opting for the download.

But hey! plenty of software is sold at stores outside of those channels, so why shouldn't Wal-Mart with all of its retail might make a strong play in this area?

You can buy the software there or get systems with pre-installed software; there's even a guide to finding the right Vista for you.

(How about a look inside the Microsoft marketing barage in this report?)

Maybe I will check it out ...
