Microsoft Store -- Another unimaginative imitation (by Mr. Ballm*r's Microsoft) to what Apple already does ?? :'(

After so many fiascos with lame product, boring innovation and lauzy execution, now Mr. Ballm*r through his Microsoft is launching Microsoft Store.

The ad says the store shall excite people because it allow everybody to 'be first, be entertained, be excited and be early'. Hmmm ... -- jokingly -- is that mean that this Microsoft Store will be featuring (1) 'Apple iPhone (the first touch based smartphone)', (2) 'Apple iPod (the most popular digital entertainment device)', (3) 'Apple MacBookAir (the most exciting super-thin notebook in the market)' and (4) 'Apple MacOSX ('the earliest operating system that incorporates 21st century GUI & user experience to the marketplace') inside their store ???? :-P

Things are remain to be seen .. :-D

By the way, in one of its pages, the ad says:

Walk into Microsoft Store and you'll find lots of choices. Right away, you'll see that it's not all about hard drives and gigabytes.

It's about getting more out of the things you value, like capturing family vacations. Turning an evening at home into a night at the theater. Having some friendly competition among friends. Even making a dorm room feel a little closer to home.

From computers and software to games, music and phones, once you've found what you're looking for, Microsoft Store offers services like personal training, technical support, ongoing performance tune-ups even extended protection plans to help you get the most of your experience.

It all starts Thursday at our Grand Opening.

We'll see you there.

Oh, sounds so Apple!!! :-O

Seriously Bill Gates seems truly need to be back at the top leadership helm of Microsoft. Microsoft with Bill Gates at the top is exciting. Microsoft without Bill Gates at the top is extremely unimaginatively boring.
