What's the point--MS vs Apple? They're only rivals in the eyes of MS. To Apple, they're complementary [as well as thieves/ plagiarizers]. Obviously MS has lots of money to waste when they should be using it on R&D and QA/QC.
I was just talking to a retail marketing person who made an interesting observation. The traffic at many malls is way down, some are looking like ghost towns. Most stores have more employees than customers.
In many otherwise dead malls he noticed flurries of activity associated with Apple Stores. Lots of people in the store and moving in and out of the store.
I think M$ won't be the only one hoping to site their stores right next to an Apple Store.
