Windows Marketplace is the place consumers go to learn more about and shop for the software and hardware that best suits their needs. It’s the largest online destination for buying software that runs on Windows and the only web site where consumers can purchase, download, and install Windows Vista and Office 2007.
 
Why Market on Windows Marketplace?
  • Profit from high visibility. Windows Marketplace makes your message an attention getter. Site traffic has increased by 45 percent in the past year,1 and growth is expected to continue due to demand for Windows Vista and Office 2007, which means your ads will get high visibility from an audience looking for the latest office products and services.
  • Connect with a wide range of technology consumers. In addition to Office products and services, Windows Marketplace offers new and popular products, on-demand software downloads, product comparisons, and consumer reviews, which makes it the place to connect with consumers looking for the latest in software and hardware. 
  • Reach users who are ready to buy. Because the Windows Marketplace user is already in a purchase-oriented mindset, Windows Marketplace advertising is ideal for business-related industries such as consumer technology, telecommunications, retail, and business productivity. Even non-technical industries such as autos and entertainment can appeal to the Windows Marketplace consumer.
