I just checked this article out while on cnet.com. Weird huh? At least I think so. I mean Microsoft isn’t like Apple, its supposed to work by having many partners working together, not have a ‘its all about the experience’ motto like Apple. I mean I think it is a bad idea to go in this direction. Microsoft makes software, not hardware, so why should it need retail stores to sell software in? First of all, everyone knows that the best way to sell software is online, not in a dedicated store. Second of all, Microsoft focuses on making software for many, partners, and they don’t run the ‘whole show’ themselves, so they shouldn’t be selling it in Microsoft stores by themselves. All in all though, I don’t think it really matters as Microsoft already has a damaged reputation, and in the end, nothing can stop its downfall.
