10 Ways Microsoft's Retail Stores Will Differ From Apple Stores

Brennon Slattery, PC World

Microsoft announced plans to open retail stores, hoping to boost visibility of many of its products and its brand. The move seems to be an effort to mimic the success that Apple has had with its retail stores. The news is just too tempting not to have some fun with. So here are some yet-to-be-officially-revealed details about the Microsoft stores.

1) Instead of Apple's sheer walls of glass, Microsoft's stores will have brushed steel walls dotted with holes -- reminiscent of Windows security.

2) The store will have six different entrances: Starter, Basic, Premium, Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate. While all six doors will lead into the same store, the Ultimate door requires a fee of $100 for no apparent reason.

Thanks for the AM laugh.

I guess they are probably going to be selling peripherals more than anything else.

2. Sad. Plenty of open mall spaces, but who will be wanting to buy?

Cute post though. :D
