Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) June 15, 2006 -- Kagi, a leader in e-commerce outsourcing worldwide, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Microsoft Corp. to make its catalog of software available through the Microsoft Windows Marketplace shopping portal where customers can easily find and buy a variety of software and hardware products for the Windows operating system.

“Kagi is very pleased to be one of the first to join with Microsoft in offering its rich software catalog through the Windows Marketplace”, says Kee Nethery, Kagi’s CEO. “This alliance will provide buyers with an outstanding blend of shopping services while providing software publishers with an exceptional marketing opportunity.
