If I were a software reseller, I would be VERY worried. MS already has software in the browser, where it can update itself via the "critical update" feature. All MS has to do, is incorporate this into Office, and resellers be dammed.
You'll get your Office, updates, bug fixes, etc, DIRECTLY from Microsoft, via downloads from MS approved locations.
MS Wallet will read your credit card number, and you'll buy more time over the net.
Oh, did you say you want a CD? Pay the NORMAL price. MS saves on packaging, pressing, shipping, and all the associated hassles with the Reseller/Destributer channel.
MS spends less, makes more, we get the software a bit cheaper, and only the middleman is the true loser.
