Well, this is going to be fun! Microsoft, which hired former Wal-Mart exec David Porter to be its corporate vice president of retail stores back in February, has just confirmed that stores are, indeed, on the way -- and soon. COO Kevin Turner confirmed the plans at the Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans yesterday, saying the stores are due to open this fall (maybe to coincide with the launch of Windows 7?) -- and what's more, Redmond's bringing the fight directly to Apple's doorstep. "Stay tuned, because we're going to have some retail stores opened up that are opened up right next door to Apple stores." Things are about to get saucy, people.

thank u, awesome news!!

I hate Microsofts ads. They always either steal or insult other companies. Like the "im a mac, im a PC" thing apple did, microsoft stole and are saying "Im a PC, and im only 2 years old".

in your case just say "i hate microsoft period"

That wasn't a mock, that was a response.

That said, yes, the PC store will help 360's sell. More shelf space + more sales people>same shelf space and sales people..

If they open up right next to the Apple store in the mall near me that will mean they are also right straight across from the Sony Store... LOL.
