It seems that CompUSA here in the states has struck an exclusive deal with Microsoft to start selling Office 2007, and Vista on November 30th. This is two months before any other retailer will have it on their shelves.

There is a catch. In the press release sent out by Microsoft today it is clear that this is only for the business edition, and at least 5 licenses must be purchased.

“We know that more than 50 percent of small businesses shop for software at retail stores. Our expanded relationship with CompUSA enables those businesses looking to purchase five or more licenses to more easily take advantage of our Open Business and Open Value offerings. These offerings also enable small businesses to purchase Windows Vista Business and Office Small Business 2007 on Nov. 30, ahead of the general availability in late January,” said Cindy Bates, general manager of the U.S. Small Business Group at Microsoft. “We think this new offering with CompUSA provides a simplified and affordable process for small businesses to purchase technology. It’s part of our ongoing commitment to make the right solutions available to our small-business customers across their full range of requirements.”

Additionally, the customer must speak to a CompUSA representative to purchase the licenses.
