The worlds first Microsoft store

as some know Microsoft decided to open a store like mac stores.
Theres only one in the country and I just happen to live pretty close to it so I decided to check it out to day. ._.

 Spoiler

ITS AN EXACT RIP OFF OF A MAC STORE.
if I didn't know better I would say it use to be a mac store.
It has that same narrow feel with computers going along the sides and accessory's in shelfs in the middle. THEY EVEN hAVE A HELP CENTER IN THE BACK THAT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE GENIUS BAR'S AT MAC STORES.
wooden floor, glass front with random cardboard pictures of PC's, bright wight walls, EVERY THING.
the employees even had little badges but instead of ipod cases they were laptops.
WOW MICROSOFT
WOW

Why not? Apple proved that a store like that would be successful, why shouldn't Microsoft do it? Most casual customers won't notice or care anyways.

OT: If it's efficient, why not use it? Reinventing the wheel isn't the best way to go about things all the time.[/COLOR]

its not the first Windows store, they had a store like apple but then stoped it because it wasnt working for them.

also microsoft is known for copypasta i mean look at "soapbox" or "Bing" they are willing to spend millions before they see any return.

95ish% market share means they can afford to f'uck up until they get it right.

Why f'uck up when you can just copy paste though?

Bing actually has a good draw through its cashback program (up to $2500 back per year on purchases found through Bing - I'm getting $410 back from my laptop purchase (25%) because of it), which will increase traffic through it.

Mac stores don't have anything unique to them. It's a store full of macs. So windows opened a shop full of windows comps, what's wrong with that? That's, you know, the point of a store.

You silly macf'ags always pull the OMG THEY STOLE IT card so quickly.

I disagree, some Mac stores are visually appealing, when compared to the buildings around them <,<

Look at all the grocery stores, they steal ideas from each other by putting groceries in their aisle and having different sections for bread and meat and dairy and stuff o.O

Also, I've noticed little about what was said by the OP in a Mac store.

So can any store in any place. Just add a groovy sign and decor!

It's not about the design of the store. It's about the purpose. OP acts like Apple invented stores.

If it's not illegal, then it's legal and Microsoft will do it.

So why the f'uck are you mad?

Also, I didn't think Dell had stores.

Anyways Im mad because Mac stores do have something unique to them (mostly transparent and neatly organized products)

Thats a unique feature even though Mac products are a bit more expensive than the PC.

i think you mean

all mac stores are designed to be 2 dimensional and bland to fit in with the software they sell, which is equally as bland.

Someone is a hater.
