What exactly did Microsoft achieve from all of this? I actually adore Microsoft, and avoid Apple products (it’s like buying a designer pair of jeans to look “cool”).

However Apple will retrain more people and brainwash them further, I find apple products rather poor.

MSFT opened their first retail store in San Francisco at the Sony Metreon in 1999. It lasted 2 years. (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/02/24/BUGSVHDITS1.DTL)

I actually bought Windows 1, and carefully resealed the package so I could return it. I signed up for MSN as my ISP. That didn’t last long. I bought a Microsoft wireless router. Now hardly anyone remembers they existed. They tried to sell watches; I resisted that one. They gave me Vista Ultimate and Windows 7 Ultimate for free–pardon me while I yawn. Now they are going to try their hand at out-appling the Apple Store. Given their track record of entering markets outside their core incompetency, we should all go to the Microsoft store quickly, before they close. Then when we tell people there used to be Microsoft stores, we’ll have some credibility.

Now, where are the Microsoft Potato Chips? Aisle 7?
