The computers that were for sale had already the new OS Windows 7 installed on the. And, in an odd way, the company also sold few of the Netbooks for the low-cost PCs that the Microsoft Corporation had battled in the past.

Microsoft had also opened an online store in November last year and had only sold Microsoft products in that. Now everything seems to change, quite possible due to the increase in the visibility and effect of Windows 7, which is an operating system for which finally Microsoft seems proud. The usability is also seen to be increasing.

It is not just related to Microsoft selling PCs, but it is also pushing the games and video game console of Xbox 360, and also the new media played named Zune HD.

The pickings are hence slim, and it is not sure that whether Microsoft will widens its base to attract customers away from the web sites like Dell and Lenovo or not and bring them back to the mother-ship.
