Microsoft is following Apple’s lead and opening up real Microsoft Stores. The first opens in Scottsdale, AZ on Win7 launch day. For those Xbox owners the Microsoft stores will supposedly fix your console in house as well in the event of a red ring. In addition to that Microsoft is also setting up a unified online presence at http://store.microsoft.com/ . I personally think the online store is a great idea. For years Microsoft’s products have been available, but scattered across their sites (normally by product line.) I think these are all steps in the right direction MS! I guess we’ll have to keep our ears open for when a Midwest MS Store opens.
