Loading ...Microsoft is famous for ripping off Apple’s OS look-n-feel and functional behaviour from as early as 1984. And this time Microsoft has done it again. No, this time its not the software rip off, but whole Apple store concept.
In a presentation leaked to Gizmodo, Microsoft is planning stores that are “light and airy,” divided into solution areas, and feature a “guru bar.” Doesnt this sound familiar?
- Different areas for Windows Mobile, Windows Media Center, Windows 7, and netbooks.
- A Guru Bar where customers can get answers from Windows experts.
- Regular demos and events
- A special Microsoft shopping bag
Microsoft comments “We’ve been wondering what the Microsoft’s retail shops are going to be like. Well, according to a Powerpoint presentation leaked to us, it’s going to make the Apple Store look downright boring.”
Gizmodo reports – Essentially, Microsoft is taking the best elements from the Apple Store, Sony Style and other “flagship” stores. The main focuses are going to be Windows 7, Xbox, PCTV (Windows Media Center) Surface and Windows Mobile, revolving around this concept customer they call “Emily,” who’s basically a younger version of your mom, since they make all the buying decisions.
