Best Buy launches software upgrade app

MINNEAPOLIS Best Buy has introduced a new desktop application that enables users to customize their PCs and netbooks with the latest content, software and service solutions.

The application, called "Software Installer," is available via download at http://www.bestbuy.com/softwareinstaller and is automatically included on selected PCs and netbooks sold at Best Buy stores and online.

“Software Installer is really a connectivity tool, developed for those of us who want to seamlessly transform our computers or netbooks into hard-working personal productivity machines or entertainment powerhouses,” said Jason Bonfig, VP computers at Best Buy. “It short-cuts the path to selecting reliable programs and services and helps manage and record your transactions so you don’t have to.”
