And that's how it should be.]]>Oct 19th 2009 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/Oct 19th 2009 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/
Let's be honest, guys: Apple aren't cool anymore and Microsoft are becoming interesting again. Your over compensatory yapping just kind of drives the point home.

Although, in fairness, I'm not sure what a Microsoft shop will sell. Surely this is a PR exercise rather than a serious retail venture? Not that it matters, it's publicity.

Good news for MS investors! Another MONEY LOSING venture from MS is coming!

See, that's the problem - because I've criticised a bunch of immature twats you assume that I'm doing so because I'm an MS fanboy and not just someone who finds the capering of fan monkeys of any stripe a little tedious.

I realise that attention to detail isn't high on Generation Y's agenda but you might want to read what I actually wrote.]]>Oct 19th 2009 5:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/
"Apple aren't cool anymore and Microsoft are becoming interesting again"

With this, you are either a fanboy or delusional! Just using the term 'Mactards' blows your cover.

At least you didn't make the mistake of stating that in contrast to Apple's uncoolness, Microsoft was becoming 'cool.' That would just give you away completely.]]>Oct 19th 2009 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/
On this note, my now traditional toast: " Thank you Steve Ballmer, for yet another idea to make AAPL look even more irresistible!"

I also love how Microsoft has to tell (i.e. bribe) people to have a "party" to "celebrate" the launch of their newest OS lmao!]]>Oct 19th 2009 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/Oct 19th 2009 2:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/Oct 19th 2009 3:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/
- Get a free iPod Touch when you buy a MacBook Pro for college
- We'll give you a free copy of Windows 7 if you throw a "party" for us

One of these is not like the other. Also, I am not sure you know what the word "bribe" means.]]>Oct 19th 2009 3:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/
- Get a free iPod Touch if you buy a computer from us.
- Get a free copy of Windows 7 if you throw us a party.

They both seem like "Hey we'll give you this if you do this for us."

I'm not the one who started using the word bribe out of it's typical context.

And even if they tried to give a free Zune with a computer purchase, they would probably get sued for trying to get market share in the portable media player area by "forcing" users to use a Zune by giving them one free. Just sayin, that's the kind of crap Microsoft has to deal with, while Apple gets to do whatever it chooses.]]>Oct 19th 2009 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/Oct 19th 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/

Best Buy employees cannot offer all the details because they have too many other products to train for and everyone knows that going to a Wal-Mart associate for advice on tech is a no-no. So this is a great move by Microsoft. They have been trashed for the past 3 years and although they still sell products people have a lot of misconceptions about them. Opening their own specialty stores can help to change that.]]>Oct 19th 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/19/microsoft-store-opening-thursday-with-ashley-tisdale/
As for showing how well their products work together, if that is really an issue, then they need better marketing and ease of use, and a store is not it.

Microsoft needs to concentrate on better integrating their products and making sure their core products, Office and Windows, stay relevant. The PC industry is on the verge of another revolution where traditional desktop apps and OS's may be left for dead and Microsoft is worried about competing with the Apple Store?]]>Oct 19th 2009 10:29AM
