I'm.. amazed it took them so long to open a store honestly. I wish there was one by me, I'm sure one will pop up in one of the big towns around me eventually.

Woohoo 100 posts!

I wonder why they chose Arizona (my state)? For those of you that don't know, Scottsdale is where all the yuppies and snobs live

I'm just glad I live in northern AZ in the nice weather and fresh air; away from the "Phoenix" smogridden hellhole.

nice lol!
Too awfully similar to some other store that I know off, hopefully the marketing company/team did not charge Microsoft a lot of money because carbon paper is actually not that expensive. microsoft is feeling the heat perhaps? good good good I want competition!

i'd rather have MS stores around than apple stores, that are a waste of space. 50ft x 50ft store with 3 imacs, 2 macbooks, a few bags and ipods in it, that's it.

the fact that you don't like the original yet you like the ripoff copy says otherwise!

either you missed the video completely or you are on drugs. Either way that video shows how particularly similar the MS store is to the Apple store.

lol ok I am at work so youtube is blocked.
So will a MS store be the same as an apple store only with other products? my only critic point was that apple has huge store space with very little inside them, if MS will do the same they are no better, but I ASSUMED that MS will not be like that, cus imo the way apple does it is lame. i's like saying "look we are so bloddy rich we can afford to waste lots of space and pay high rents which we use for nothing"...

I'm not going to lie. That Microsoft store looked and functioned just like an Apple store.

Even the employees wore colored t-shirts with a lanyard around their next with a large ID tag attached to it.

Wonder if they'll start their own brand of PC now.

I was thinking the same, they might have to buy out Toshiba, HP, or just break some contracts. I dunno but having different brands of PCs makes them way more customizable and different.
