Touting that windows 7 is dramatically simplified. And this is the Apple way? So it would be better and smarter to tout that windows 7 dramatically increases the complexity of operations? Isn't this like complaining that toyota is copying honda by mentioning better mileage? Personally I think these stores are a horrible idea. MS does not control the PC environment it's choosing to serve the way Apple does. No matter how hard they try, I can't see this working even if MS wasn't incompetant in this area which I'm thinking they are close to being.
