Okay, Jeff, here goes. Apple generates lots of "excitement" at their
stores when they release a new product. People line up for the opening
at their stores; that is consumer excitement. M$'s biggest "excitement"
recently was when they reduced the advanced purchase of home versions of
Windows7 (feeling lucky?) by about 40% in the UK for a small number of
media-licenses so they could outsell Vista's advanced purchase.
Seriously, M$ is totally ignorant about marketing and will probably lose
huge chunks of cash trying to be Apple. And I can't see people lining
up outside the M$ store.
Thank you,
Mark Snyder

Maybe I haven't gone far enough through my email yet, but I
can't believe anyone has actually answered the "exciting" question yet.
We have several coffee shops in town that are causing a lot of
controversy. The coffee makers are all women and wear nothing but
lingerie. I don't have a problem with this, but some people do. And the
shops are quite busy.
