Microsoft Store – Fortune Favors the Bold

[admin]

You may have heard that Microsoft now plans to open a chain of retail stores. It’s a sure way to present your products and encourage Windows shopping at the same time. But, given the economic uncertainty almost nobody thinks it’s a good idea to open a new retail electronics chain. But it worked for Apple! Hasn’t Microsoft made a living copying its fruit flavored nemesis?

Kinda cool, as long as they don't have the air of superiority that pisses me off about apple stores.

Microsoft did have a store prior to the opening of the Apple stores. Granted, there was only one of them, but they can't be accused of copying this time.

This is awesome I love it. I can stage a GNU/LINUX and FOSS rally by the store to give out free live cds to those who want to save $$$ and be FREE and secure. Microsoft is dying a very slow death. I give it maybe another decade. UBUNTU has came farther in less than 5yrs than M$ has in a decade (comparing 98 to vista and 4.06 to 8.10)

Have you seen the newest microsoft commercials? The ones with the cute little girl uploading, 'fixing' and then emailing a picture to her mom made my GF melt. I think it is a very effective ad, and I like to tease my gf, telling her that's what our child would look like if we had one.

I haven't seen those new comercials, they sound interesting.

Can't possibly be as annoying and misleading as the Mac vs PC ads
