Cliffs:

-Microsoft will be bringing in stores to six new metro areas

- Microsoft stores are being modeled after apple's successful stores, but made to be warmer.  I.E they won't have some hipster dipshits looking down in you if you use, say an android phone or whatever, and will have a more down to earth kind of decor.

Looks like they're following apples lead. Howe....forget it. I can't be bothered

more money

I think that they are making a smart move, I mean this will breed more fans of Microsoft, kind of like how a church breeds baptists.

yea baptist ar a bit cynical, and i should know. i grewup in a baptist church. 7th day adventist, are much much worse though, or the holier then thou jehovah witness. ops srrry way of topic. yea i have major issues with religion.

anyway it is a smart move.
