What’s funny is that as the guy moves down the isle of freaks he turns left and then starts heading towards the door realising his mistake of there only being one door and that fat chick is blocking the exit.

In case you don’t know how much of a rip off this is, see page 5 for an apple store opening video.

Microsoft New Store, Unique or Apple Store Copy?

Wish I was there just so I could walk into the store thumbing through apps on my iPod Touch. I bet they don’t have free wireless there.

I can understand their excitement. Microsoft has convinced them Windows FINALLY created an operating system that works. Wait a week and see if the excitement is still there.

I think everything that needs to be said is said by the guy on the right in the red shirt holding his nose. The whole thing just stinks.

I’ve been a Microsoft engineer for 13 years, and Microsoft is declining faster than today’s job market. They will do whatever it takes to keep their market share, and it makes me happy every day to see Apple walking up the ladder. I’m a HUGE Apple fan, and I no longer have any windows machines in my house. This store of Microsoft’s is a joke, and it will fail just like Vista did. Let’s all just sit back and wait and watch them look stupid.. Once Microsoft starts listening to their customers, and stops having engineers designing their software, they might be able to get back in the game. But for someone who supports their products, each day I recommend less and less of their products. Let’s start with Exchange 2007. Us admins now have to learn Powershell, on top of all crap we support. Try installing an SSL certificate. It’s impossible. You need to scour Google for an hour to get the correct parameters and then half the time it doesn’t work. They take away the GUI, and try to make it more powerful, which it is, but at the same time, if i wanted to learn the command shell, I’d use Linux. It will run for years without requiring a reboot. So Microsoft, if you have a chance to read this, learn from your mistakes, and listen to the people who are out there supporting your products. Learn from Apple and be innovative, and don’t simply copy Apple by opening a store.

The blatant rip off is pathetic. See if, in a week, the store is as crowded than any Apple Store.

Awesome!!! Is just like going to BestBuy but with more colors!!!
I remember a comment made by Ballmer some time ago about how lame was the idea of having a MS store and how pathetic Apple was for needing its stores, i wish i could find that interview again…
Now if you excuse me i have to go the Apple Store to enjoy in amazement the awesomeness of the new 27 iMac…
