Very cleaver though. I don't think Balmer really wants me though. I'd probably go postal after the 3rd day. Most Windows users I know (except the tech savy) are very ignorant. ]]>Aug 21st 2009 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/
"Most Windows users are ignorant" is a very misleading phrase. Considering just about everyone use Windows, it should be more akin to "most PEOPLE are ignorant."]]>Aug 21st 2009 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/
I have a Mac and when I go in to the Apple store here on 5th ave I get to see a lot of people that are ignorant to the outside world, so it goes both ways.]]>Aug 21st 2009 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/

I have been to the Apple store at San tan mall, (Arizona) and the one at Chandler mall. They're always douches! I went in a few days ago, and asked why the iTouch costs more than the zune hd. First he said, well sir the iPod touch has much better technology. I said how so? Well sir the the iPod touch uses a touch interface, it has Wi-Fi, and it can associate with iTunes software. I was like.. uh the zune hd uses touch interface and has wi-fi, but he continued to say that he works in the tech gadget field, and I don't so he was obviously correct. I hate apple store employees. ]]>Aug 21st 2009 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/Then yes, they will be just as douchey.

So will their customers.

It's retail. EVERYONE'S a douchebag when in retail.]]>Aug 21st 2009 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/over vs. a product that's not out yet?

Isn't it just as douch to go into a store, start with a question (as gozer pointed out) that they won't know the answer to, and then proceed to ask incendiary questions that, being a tech blog reader, are superfluous?

Besides, in order to keep their job they have to 'tow the Apple line'. I bet that employee enjoys their pay cheque at the end of the month more than winning a flame war with a 'customer'.]]>Aug 21st 2009 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/21/first-two-microsoft-retail-stores-now-hiring/
Anecdote alert!

::Overheard whilst walking by an apple store on my way to Thirsty's::
Person: "Do you have any I-Touch-Pod-Nano-Mini. With 3G if you have any"
Rep: "I don't know, let me check..."

I did a psyduck and walked on by.

Finally! A place I can pick up a boxed copy of Windows. Thank God.

Honestly, MS is just green with Envy. They're still a hugely profitable company (read: M-O-N-O-P...) but man to they just flat out suck.

Competition does bring out the best in people, and look, MS's mediocrity exemplifies that quite well.

Now they're plucking features from OS X and iWork they could have implemented years ago?
