Interesting. So close and I've never heard of them.
But it's a wholesale retailer, e.g. it's targeted towards registered professional customers rather than end consumers. My point still stands, the large majority of the public does not interact with them.

- Argorak 14y agoClose to a Metro store, having access to a Metro card is like having a driving license: most people have it or they don't want it. I would say that most of the customers there are not "professionals". I live close to one and use it as a supermarket. Also, Microsoft does also sell to professional customers, so it is still a conflict of interest. And, my point also stands: I don't care whether Metros claim is valid or not. They are a major distribution partner and Microsoft is depending on them. This is why they can strong-arm Microsoft rather than having to go to court. I don't care the slightest about the "normal people"-argument, because it doesn't matter.
- nodrama 14y agoWholesale yes, but it's easy to get a card if you really want, and a lot of people in Romania have a card. Also you can get a one day pass. Worth it, because they negotiate very low prices with the suppliers. When MS came with the name Metro, I knew that there might be some problems, but then I thought that for sure MS has an army of lawyers and they figured everything out.
