Amazon launches software downloads
Once you install the downloader, you can either buy the free sample software to test the utility or shell out some money for a copy of TurboTax 2007. We can only assume that at some point Amazon will add a download option for some of the other software the company sells in retail boxes.

And Amazon's selection right now is kind of laughable. But for the instant-gratification obsessed, any move toward a future where you will never have to wait for a software package to arrive in the mail is a good move.

If Amazon can beat the price of Tubo Tax sold anywhere else I'll be a fan for life. Most of Amazon's stuff is the cheapest around.
