After Research, bad news :(

Well apparently there was/is a lot of confusion in the Magento community regarding “Virtual Products” vs. “Downloadable Products.”  While the roadmap and the buzz seemed to indicate that they were going to be basically the same, more research shows that the developers had to split “Downloadable Products” out of the 1.1 release as it was not yet ready.  “Virtual Products” are simply products that do not require shipping (perhaps an event registration).  The developers say that “Downloadable Products” are high on the list, and should be in the next release.  They may be too late.
