They could try adding some color. Black and white looks clean and nifty for a bit, but the eye needs something to grab it's attention. The background screens weren't doing the job. As a long time Mac fan I don't know how I can say it any plainer, but the store was boring. Maybe some life size placards and posters, etc. of software and upcoming software and/or something not black and white? Thinking of my high school days in the movie theater there.

Okay, you asked and I took a stab at defining excitement and you panned
it.  So, Jeff, tag, you're it: tell us (or stop sneering).  Make it
relevant, too and tell us how M$ will generate excitement.

Thank you,

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.

We normal types call that kind of excitement "marketing hype" and those
people lining up, "schmucks."
