Can we (Digital - MCS) buy Microsoft products directly from Microsoft
for resale? If not why not? Currently we are buying M/S products
for resale from distributors.
Thanks,

Please be more specific with your question, like which products? Some products we manufacture ourselves for 'resale'. I think the Windows NT kits are in this catagory. Other products, like Office, we probably don't make the kits ourselves nor stock them. I think in the past this was handled by 800 Software when we owned them. I hope this gives you some background that can help you get the right answer. | |||||

Like all products. Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT, MOLP A, B
licenses, MS Office, MS Office Pro...etc. We have customers that we
procure Microsoft products for, we have other customers that we buy
the products and then install them on PC's (Exp. DEC, Compaq, IBM).
Any Microsoft product that a customer requests (now remember I'm in the
MCS org not the PC PBU) we buy the product from Channels not directly
from Microsoft. My question is why and do other PC OEMs, such as IBM
do the same?
Thanks,

Re: <<< Note 4130.2 by CSLALL::KEITH_AA >>>
I suggest you contact someone in the Multivendor Support Services
Group headed by Paul Shaughnessy here in Stow. His group is
responsible for those deals. His secretary is Sally Nolan (dtn
276-8711), I'm sure she can tell you who handles Microsoft.
