Apple stores so crowded, its hard to get the attention of the sales guys. They are super busy, even on a monday morning. In santa clara, the microsoft store is right in front of apple store. Once I went to apple store on a monday morning, to fix my wife's phone. The apple store was packed at 10.30 AM, I had to wait 2 hours to get it fixed. So, to kill time I went into the microsoft store, which was literally empty. There were more staff than customers. I don't know why microsoft is opening stores.

- seanmcdirmid 14y agoThis comment borders on trollish. I have experienced crowded Apple stores myself in my own city (Beijing), two hour waits for repairs suck. That Apple stores have been very successful is hardly a secret or controversial. I can't really compare to Microsoft stores, since we don't have any here. Disclaimer: I'm a Microsoft employee, hardly an Apple fanboy.
- snambi 14y agoAs a microsoft employee, can you buy an apple laptop use it at microsoft for work? for example doing presentations using macbook pro.
- ryanhuff 14y agoYou should have seen the Santa Barbara Apple store in August on a Saturday evening. It was dead.
- Stratoscope 14y agoYou weren't there today. That same Microsoft store was packed with people checking out the Surface and all the other new machines. The Apple store across the aisle was pretty quiet by comparison.
- smackfu 14y agoApple stores can also have the irritating experience of five staff and six customers so you can't just buy the thing you came to the store for.
