Microsoft opening stores next to Apple this fall.

[The artist formally known]

But what will they sell in there? Their OS and a couple 360s?

[Lozal]

zunes, too

I doubt the stores will be as prevalent as the Apple Stores..meaning they'll open at a few select locations but they won't be all over the place...

They have just as many products to sell as Apple, if not more. A shit load of software, probably a few desktops and laptops running vista, 360 stuff, Zune stuff.

Plus they makes keyboards and stuff and maybe they can have Surface to attract people.

They'd gain a much larger crowd by selling Jet Black something-or-others.

I know for fucking sure that if they finished the "Surface" they'd make a killing selling anything in their store just because people would come to see the Surface. iPhone does a lot of what the Surface does but there are some just purely bad-ass features like transferring photos from a phone to another phone.

I think they should just streamline their products, the look of almost all their products are all over the place while Apple has a very specific look. Sure other problems are there but just step in the right direction.

Microsoft is a very large company with a lot of departments and products, whereas everything Apple makes is designed by the same few guys in Jobs's garage.

Will the employees get the BSoD

What really cracks me up is that Apple is shitting themselves over those "laptop hunter" commercials. One of Apple's marketing guys called up someone at Microsoft and told them to pull those ads because they were so effective.

The fact that the only source for that happening is from Microsoft I think I'm going to need some logs of the call and not just a microsoft rep saying it happened.

It's like MSNBC a few days ago when they reported about how 'experts' do not find Chrome OS secure.

I think it's completely stupid that Apple was mad at Microsoft. Apple was "the first to throw the stone" with their horrid PC guy and Mac guy.
