This sounds interesting. But, I probably won't shop at the MS store since Newegg, Tigerdirect and Amazon will probably have better prices. I got a feeling the MS store won't offer a lot of bargains/

Everyone is making a big deal about that fact, but I intentionally left it out. The actual quote is "there will be scenarios where we have stores in proximity to Apple." They don't say that they're intentionally placing them right next to Apple, but that it will end up happening. Apple usually picks good locations for their stores, so it wouldn't be surprising if Microsoft plants a store down on the same block.

Now if Microsoft started dropping all of their stores in right next to Apple, then it might seem a little more intentional.

I think they should just go with products that play off the MS name. Like Microsoft-Drinks or Microsoft Toilet Paper. I would buy a toilet paper if I knew it was really soft like micro-soft.

I also wonder if their hardware will be like their software where you buy it, get it home, try to install it, then wait 3 months for a patch to come out to make it work.

They also plan to open right next door to Apple stores: http://tinyurl.com/nvrs5n
