Microsoft, in a drive for original software has launched an online store (buyoriginalMS) that enables consumers to buy MS products 
from sellers directly.
Currently the products on offer include original Microsoft software for Windows, Office, Servers, Games and Education; and Xbox games, consoles and accessories.
BuyOriginalMs.com also provides an interface program for resellers, channel partners and affiliates that allowsthe partners to sell Microsoft Products through a host of APIs, create Microsoft shopping carts, earn attractive remunerations through affiliate programs and much more.
MS has partnered with ICICI Bank as well as Skypak for payment/delivery.
The site needs new registrations (wonder why can’t they integrate Live id/pwd authentication) and it seems, there are no extra discounts if you buy products online.

I read your article. I had a little doubt. recently i have been in conversation with one of Microsoft official and he denied to me that this site belongs to them. he siad that it is only an e-commerce portal for sellers. Do you have any kind of eveidence to support your claim in this article.
