Details of Microsoft stores leak out... including an "Answers Bar" and birthday parties in the store!

Posted by Stewie (aka whysoserious) Jul 26 '09, 09:47

I'm still confused by this whole thing.

All of their products are designed to sell on price, and I'm sure they are not gonna undercut their major retailers like Best Buy in the Microsoft store, so what's the need?

In stores that sell all types of computers, the expensive Apple machines make the PCs look cheaper, Microsofts own commercials work off of this, but in a Microsoft exclusive store they lose that comparison.

Also there is no such thing as a Microsoft computer, to sell computers in their store they have to pick one manufacturer at the expense of others.

If they really name it "Answer Bar" it's like they're even trying -- nm - Guigue Jul 26, 09:50 1
- Hmm. I would have went with "not even trying" but to-each-his-own. -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 10:20
It has always sounded like a dumb idea to me ... And now birthdays? WTF? -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 26, 09:49
