subdomain

I have read this article: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/subdomains-and-subdirectories/

But I'm not 100% clear if moving my subdomain website into a subdirectory on the main domain would change anything related to SEO.

I inherited this structure:

Informational site related to our specific industry lives at: http://website.com

StoreFront where we sell product related to our industry lives at: http://store.website.com

The informational site gives a lot of good information on how to use the products we sell. The storefront is primarily used for the ecommerce function of selling the products, but there is a lot of info specific to the products on that site.

Question: Is our main domain http://website.com getting page rank credit for the product info contained at http://store.website.com? Would there be a benefit to changing the structure?
