The Microsoft company store (the internal one) recently moved to a new location on campus. The new store is absolutely beautiful, but it carries a wide range of products that seem to only be interesting to Microsoft employees. Stuff like technical books, desk toys, t-shirts, etc. For sure, the best sellers are employee discounted software (including games) and hardware (including controllers, keyboards, etc). Zune also gets featured prominently. I would expect a Microsoft store to sell a lot of partner's products. Building 3rd party ecosystems is kinda what Microsoft DOES. And they do it quite well. I expect to see the store luring people in with Xbox 360, but then convincing them to check out laptops from Dell, cell phones from HTC, and software from a wide variety of ISVs.
