OK here goes again. Apples versus Oranges (pun intended)
I for the life of me cannot understand why MS wants to open retail stores. MS is a software company that sells a little bit of hardware. Apple is a Hardware company that sells a little bit of Software. If you were to look at the ratios this would be born out. So Apple store good idea. MS store bad idea.

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
