You can buy your shiny upgrades (I mean “full versions dressed as upgrades”) to be delivered in the future.

This is an offer I could not resist. So I click to the relevant page on the Microsoft website and hit the Microsoft Store button – after all, best to buy it from the source don’t you think?

Ah, no.

Microsoft Store

So much for Microsoft’s cloud based scale-up scale-out on-demand infrastructure.
