Next will come the, "Let's shake things up a lot, and reboot the company" that phase will see a new M$ that's better, stronger, faster than the old. Until then we just look at them with pity and shake our heads. Yeah, they're clearly in the "let's make minor changes and hope one has a huge impact" phase of denial.

They'll probably have some catchy new slogan.... "Mmmm'Soft" Well, it might soften their image a bit. But frankly, I think M$ needs to fire Steve Ballmer. He's running Microsoft into the ground.

Although I don't see a benefit in a MS store; I'm ready to claim it as being a dumb move / failure right out of the gate.

It's definitely sad that Microsoft can't figure it out, but keeps copying and trying, while missing the key points. Yeah truly.

Apple is a culture compared to Microsofts "product." Unfortunately it seems the only way they will learn is the hard way. I think you're right. Apple is a culture compared to Microsofts "product."
