| - As a technology enthusiast, I was pleased to see Microsoft's launch of their very first retail store (ever). I have window shopped here several times since it's Grand Opening in the Fall '09
Of course, my first instinct about it was, "Oh, it's probably going to look like an Apple Store." Hmm, yes and no.
Similarities:
** Sleek Layout of the Products and Accessories
Differences:
** Sells various Laptop and PC brands such as Sony, Toshiba, and Lenovo
** X-Box Gaming Demo Area (Usually, they will have kids jumping up and down in front of the screen, playing some games. So I commend them for placing this at the front of the store to attract shopper's walking by).
If you are a "PC" person, like myself, it is very refreshing to see that they offer different brands other than just ONE (like Apple does). With different brands, there's different styles, experience, and feel. We like choices! At least some of us do. What I have observed and in high favor of is their showcasing of the latest hardware version of whichever Laptop or PC that is currently out.
Lastly, when needed, the Staff members seemed knowledgeable and attentive.
