Equipt Exclusively at Circuit City 

Microsoft Equipt will be available at Circuit City stores (some 700 of them) as of July 15th, 2008.

Although not clear, Microsoft announced that it will be distributed through other retailers as well.

You may already know that Circuit City is going through tough times. I wonder what this exclusive deal is all about...

Equipt got released today. You can purchase it online at CircuitCity.

What's included in the Microsoft Equipt Bundle? 

  • Office Home and Student 2007:
    A non-commercial Office version. Includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote
  • Windows Live OneCare:
    PC management and security bundle. Contains Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Firewall, file and photo backup, and home network management
  • Windows Live:
    Communication and collaboration. Contains Mail, Messager, Photo Share, capabilities.
  • Office Live Workspace:
    Office collaboration add-on which allows users to post, share and collaborate on Office documents.
  • Why is Microsoft Releasing Equipt Bundle? 

    Well there are many reasons...

    But the main one probably the Google effect. As you may know Google has been pushing Google Docs for a while now. The target customer group is the same, the small home offices, students, etc. I am not sure how Microsoft plans to compete with this free product from Google.

    Another good reason is the recurring nature of subscription based revenues. Microsoft has been trying to expand it's recurring revenue by the Software Assurance model, which it offers to commercial customers. Equipt is a good way to squeeze recurring revenue out of end users.
