So Microsoft is getting into the retail store brand like Apple now. Wonder how this will turn out.
I hope they have other stuff besides the computers and such.

Microsoft plans to open their first retail stores this fall in California and Arizona shopping malls, the Seattle Times reports.
The stores will be located at the Scottsdale Fashion Square and The Shops at Mission Viejo. The Fashion Square already has an Apple store.
"We really picked them because they're hot markets," Kim Stocks, a Microsoft spokeswoman told the Times. "Scottsdale is one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. Mission Viejo is consistently rated one of the best places to live."
Microsoft still hasn't set a specific date or name for the stores.
Microsoft will open stores in Orange County and Scottsdale [Seattle Times]

Microsoft plans to open stores this fall in the shopping mall capitals of Orange County and Arizona, specifically Mission Viejo and Scottsdale.
The company said earlier this month it would be opening retail stores. Here is the story we wrote on that.
Kim Stocks, a Microsoft spokeswoman, did not have many details other than the two locations: Scottsdale Fashion Square, which does not have an Apple store, and The Shops at Mission Viejo, which does.
"We really picked them because they're hot markets," she said. "Scottsdale is one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. Mission Viejo is consistently rated one of the best places to live."
I asked whether the stores would be timed to open with the Windows 7 launch on Oct. 22 and Stocks said the company was only committing to this fall as a deadline. Stocks also had no comment on what the stores would be named.
The stores will carry Microsoft hardware and software as well as PCs made by the company's partners. Stocks said to expect laptops, mobility products and gaming products such as Xbox and Zune.
