| - It's really interesting to see this, the Windows logo gleaming at the end of the new Yorkdale expansion.
It's half the size of the apple store (just next door). It could be the placement of tables, and the small glass room at the back it seems like for one-on-one instruction etc. This was my first venture into the world of Microsoft and Windows 8 in a while. Doesn't matter that I use it on a daily basis, I guess we're just taking it for granted.
I think it was because the Surface Tablet and most of the computers in there were all TOUCH SCREEN. This is something new to me. A touch screen computer/monitor. Something different, something new, makes me want. Stepping into the Apple Store right after, everything felt BLAH and old.
It's interesting because Microsoft doesn't manufacture their own computers, so you see mostly Asus laptops, and some other companies on display. The large touch screen monitor (just like a Mac, but touch screen) was quite cool, but doesn't seem as intuitive as the iPad or how apple products function.
I wonder how come Apple never came up with this themselves.
At the back of the store is a small section for Xbox with a demo of Kinect and all that fun stuff.
Yes, walking out of here, I was torn between my loyalty between Apple and the new stuff from Microsoft. I guess that's the point.
