Ouch. That's just brutal for Microsoft.

Agreed, they should be showcasing their stuff on floors instead of tables and using something other than glass, like poster board.

Not a real comparison. Apple has TONS of other products people are in the store for, where MS seems to only be trying to sell the Surface.

At least that is what I got from the pictures.

MS has *never* been into hardware. to open a store for the surface was a monument to idiocy. the entire MS push now is to compete with google, who's built for advertising, not IT/Enterprise.

they're about to get their hiney handed to them.

and again, if all they got is a one trick pony, setting up nationwide stores was just down right butt-nugget stupid.

...to see the market position being offered by MS to the consumer. If I were them I would seriously consider a drop in price point to get momentum in an already crowded market.
