Assuming that MS knows the situation it's in with competition, the economy, and society in general, they could very well make this a great success. Good Luck!

Is there any originality left at Microsoft? Or it all waiting to see what Apple does next? it's really pathetic. Let’s see: an App Store and now a retail store.

Microsoft says 1GB for Vista, Walt Mossberg is now saying 3GB. Is Microsoft gonna have it's "gurus" contradict official company marketing policies? Hard to believe those gurus are really gonna be helpful. Being an Apple Genius is good entry level position to becoming a Mac administrator. Just hard to believe these Microsoft stores are going to provide the same opportunity to their employees. backbeat. 100% agree with what you said.

When it comes to computers Microsoft is just a software company. Never saw or heard of a x-machine other then the X-box I have seen mice and keyboards but besides the xbox and zune and now clothing what could they possibly sell at a microsoft store.
