- lucb1e 13y agoMicrosoft has stores? I honestly didn't know that. Did know of Apple stores, but they also sell hardware instead of just Microchip Software.
- sliverstorm 13y agoMicrosoft sells the Surface family, and a large collection of peripherals.
- Joeri 13y agoI once passed a microsoft store. It is a place of silent contemplation, where every once in a while a lone shopper will be stranded and forced to lay hands on a thousand surfaces before finding their way back from where they came.
- derefr 13y agoThey also have an altar to the spirit of Kinect, with a mat upon which it is suggested to dance out your prayers. They are good for morning tai-chi.
- general_failure 13y agoIts a sad sad place. They are also strategically placed near apple stores which makes it even sadder. The apple stores are full and brimming with activity. The ms stores are almost always empty.
- bananas 13y agoI live right near an Apple store in Surrey, UK. I rarely see anyone buying anything - it's people playing with things.
- Pxtl 13y agoIt doesn't seem like they move a lot of product, but Apple stores actually have some of the highest sales-per-square-foot in the entire retail industry.
- zghst 13y agoI live down the street from the first MS store. I agree it is very sad; the employees look like Apple Store rejects and when it gets full, it is all kids and old people. It just doesn't attract the same crowd that the Apple store does. MS should just close them all, it is just an over glorified Best Buy.
- mynameishere 13y agoYou know, I've only ever seen one Apple store, and it was tiny and sad and empty (that was probably bad timing). I thought it was strange since it was in the same town Jobs lived in.
- jmspring 13y agoThere are a few Microsoft stores, main one I know of in the Bay Area is in the Stanford Mall.
