Actually, a recent interview on Teleread w/ Pablo Defendini from Tor.com made it seem like there will be no Tor books sold through Webscriptions.

Money quote: "The Tor.com ebook store has absolutely nothing to do with Baen, never has, and probably never will, sadly (I’m a fan of Baen’s bookstore). The confluence of Baen and Tor.com’s stores is probably a result of the Tor Books/Baen relationship being so prominent in the ebook landscape, but that’s in the past, as far as I know."

Given Macmillan's recent actions, this is of course unsurprising.
