Leading Internet bookstore for professionals creates store for
another Microsoft user community
Fatbrain.com (Nasdaq:FATB), the Internet's most comprehensive professional bookstore, today announced it has been selected to create an online bookstore for an additional Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) community. Fatbrain.com will deliver a custom bookstore for Microsoft's Windows NT Server Web site, which was launched today.
The new co-branded Microsoft and Fatbrain.com store, located at microsoft.com, offers an expert selection of technical and business books, training materials and documentation plus special discounts for the more than 2.3 million information technology professionals who subscribe to Microsoft's Windows NT user update services. Fatbrain.com has set up similar preferred online bookstores, last month announcing a store for Microsoft's re-launched developer resource site, MSDN Online, and earlier launching a store for the Microsoft TechNet site for IT professionals.
"Fatbrain.com's expertise in providing resources for IT professionals makes it the perfect bookstore partner for our Windows NT site," said Emily Warn, group program manager, Microsoft Windows Web sites. "With this new resource, Windows NT users and prospects now have access to a world-class selection of the most up-to-date references available on Windows NT."
The online bookstore is custom-designed uniquely for Microsoft Windows NT users and prospects, delivering quick, directed access to Fatbrain.com's entire world-class selection of professional resources covering more than 800 technical subject categories. Recommended reading lists, regular updates and advanced search tools and services help users find the most up-to-date resources in their topics of interest.
Dennis Capovilla, vice president of business development for Fatbrain.com said, "We're pleased that Microsoft again has selected Fatbrain.com to provide a preferred bookstore for one of its most quickly-growing user communities."
