Windows 8 and Kinect seem to be recent enough examples

Very nice to see MS stores doing well

Kinect and Windows 8 original?? HA

Eyetoy/PSEye and calling Windows 8 original is like calling New Super Mario Bros. original

Fire Ballmer, then we can talk about how had they're pushing back.

Huntington Station is literally a hop, skip and throw away from me. Hell, I used to work right on New York Ave.

I heard nothing about this place opening. O_o

Windows 8 and Kinect are a Monster...

Cant wait to see the sales explosion of Kinect this holidays and windows will smash everything on the planet sales wise.

I hardly dare to guess whether Windows 8 will succeed or not, but it certainly is original. There's nothing quite like it in the mobile space, and in the desktop/laptop space it's the most radical departure since 1984.

It might not pay off in the end, but at least give MS some credit for gambling with one of the greatest monopolies in modern history.

Credit for gambling??  I don't award for having balls, but rather only praise for good results.  Keep in mind that the first guy over the trenches always had the biggest balls, but he died the soonest as well.  

And ive read some reviews on windows 8 and in summary, they arent great for desktop PCs, unless one is going to get some touchscreen monitor or what have you.  The whole strategy of having the OS built a little bit for the PC and a little bit for the tablets in the end satisfy neither.  I could care less if tablets have grown, the biggest market is still PCs and Microsoft is ditching it. Apple and Google could care less.

In that case you need to make up your mind: Do you want Microsoft to be original or do you want them to be successful?

You complain about both, but Microsoft's most successful years are also its least original years, so I suggest you pick one set of goalposts instead of moving them back and forth at a whim.

Looks like a nice shop there, i'm surprised a microsoft shop didn't exist before though
