But, I probably won't shop at the MS store since Newegg, Tigerdirect and Amazon will probably have better prices. I got a feeling the MS store won't offer a lot of bargains/ This sounds interesting.

The actual quote is "there will be scenarios where we have stores in proximity to Apple."

Like Microsoft-Drinks or Microsoft Toilet Paper. I would buy a toilet paper if I knew it was really soft like micro-soft.<br><br>I also wonder if their hardware will be like their software where you buy it, get it home, try to install it, then wait 3 months for a patch to come out to make it work.
