Microsoft starts selling PCs online

NEW YORK--In a surprise move, Microsoft has started selling computers and third-party software via its online store.

It's part of a broader push to try to give Windows the kind of lift that Apple has gotten from its network of retail stores. Microsoft had said it would sell PCs at its brick-and-mortar stores, but it plans to open just two of those this year, including a Scottsdale, Ariz., location that opens later Thursday.
