What was I saying?! Microsoft stores shouldn't have guru bars
at all, they should have windows! They should still be populated
with "wizards" though, rather than gurus. And wizard attire
would be just the kind of branding they need to set themselves
apart from Apple.
Since they are Microsoft, they really ought to call them Wizard bars.
Black robes and pointy hats with astral symbols would help too.

"A leaked presentation has exposed Microsoft's tentative plans for
its retail stores -- and the high degree to which they'll imitate
Apple stores, down to their layouts and even the presence of a
dedicated "Guru Bar" for help."
I guess that by cutting down on originality M$ thinks it is being
frugal.
