I have not been into a Microsoft store. I have seen the first of those stores by way of numerous videos that are now circulating on the internet. Word has it that these stores are going to all physically resemble the stores operated by Apple, and from the videos I have seen of the one on Scottsdale, this appears to be the case. I also have taken note of the fact that Microsoft is heavily touting that Windows 7 is going to dramatically SIMPLIFY operations and procedures under the Windows operating environment. Again, this seems to be a copying of the Apple tradition. Microsoft appears to want to mimic Apple as opposed to having a business model predicated upon differentiating itself from the major competition.
