"Hey Kids, Welcome to MicrosoftlandstoreiWindblowsExperiencePlace! I'm Clippy and I'll show you around. Come on!
Over here we have one of my favorites, the Zune. Its like that other MP3 player, you know the one, but its way better because it can play all your favorites, well except not at the end of the year or if the stuff you want to listen to is in that old WMA format or if your trying to use it with Windows...
Speaking of Windows, have you guys seen Vista? Its great and it protects you from running anything that could mess up your computer, like Word or Outlook or Firefox. Really secure and its stays secure with hourly updates..."
Yep the have announced they're going to open a store. A Microsoft retail outlet. Just like Apple. And they're going to use a Walmart guy to shove it down your throat. Apparently Microsoft hasnt noticed that people aren't buying stuff these days.
But lets say for arguments sake that this is a good idea, that Microsoft can follow in Apples footstep to the retail store market. Do you think they will also have a Genius Bar, or will they call it a Genius Center or a Jenius Bar or better yet a eGenius eBar? Do you think they will have a area where the youngest Windows users can play games and surf the net and have their machines lock up and loose all their data too? Do you think they will have people that carry mini purchase terminals where they can help you make your purchase, swipe your credit card and then allow some hole in Windows 7 beta to leak your credit card number to the Iranian mofia? Will the Microsoft store be bold enough to have Zunes with headphones attached playing all the DMA free music that you can't actually buy and keep from the Zune Marketplace or will it be playing high quality FM radio?
Can someone explain to me why the rest of the world puts up with Microsoft and their shit products and completely blantant theft of every idea any one of their competitors comes up with? Why are you reading this on a computer that you have had to reboot at least twice since you started reading and why do you insist that buying a PC is more ecomonical as you pay for the third update for the registry cleaner, ant-spyware and disc defragger as well as the new video card that you had to have because your old one wasn't compatible with that last "security update"?
Anyone, anyone? Cue the crickets, Eugene!
