Microsoft announced plans to open its own chain of branded stores to catch up with rival Apple and its successful foray into retailing. Microsoft did not reveal how many stores it planned to open, when they would open, or which products it would sell in the stores.
A little humor on the subject by Jimmy Fallon:
“Despite the recession, Microsoft is planning to open stores to compete with Apple. The Microsoft stores will be just like the Apple stores, except the staff will freeze when you ask them any questions.”

And they’ll be selling what? Copies of Win 7? With a free copy of crappier than ever Vista? Give the world a rest Bill, it’s just time. They’ll probably emphasize Zune if they weren’t planning any laptops and something, I just can’t seem to figure what what could be the thing that would make people drop by their stores.
