Customer Reviews now available at the Windows Shop

 

Ever wanted to tell the world how much you love (or hate) Windows 7 and other Microsoft products?  Well now you can as  the Windows Shop has finally embraced customer reviews.

Now you can leave your feedback and comments on Microsoft’s most recent desktop operating system as well at other products such as Office 2010 and even the Windows Anytime Upgrade programme.
Customer reviews have been a mainstay of e-commerce for the best part of a decade now.  Amazon was one of the first sites to introduce them and eBay wouldn’t be able to operate without them.
As usual it’s simple to add our review, simply click the write a review link under a product and the system works just as it does on any other website but in addition, this system allows you to rate individual elements of the product, as you can see in the screenshot below.

It’s good that Microsoft have now finally embraced product reviews on their own website, though if you look at Windows 7 on Amazon.com a great many people have already given their thoughts.  It also has to be asked just how many sales are made through the official Microsoft Windows Shop.
Never the less, this is a welcome addition and demonstrates Microsoft’s confidence in their current product ranges.
