I can't help but smile at this story. It'll be interesting to see the design & layout of the Microsoft shop as well as the traffic flow once the initial hoopla has died down about it. Mark

You will at least be able to see into the shop. It will have Windows.
I’ll get my coat.

Won't it just be like PC World, except the people in there will have some idea what to do?  _________________Just your friendly neighbourhood mars-bar-man.flickr

Not at all - I'd feel dirty if I needed to ask them for advice, but they're just a retailer! They're no different to Asda or Tesco really! They're quite fun to "show up" though, picking holes in their knowledge etc...

It isn't difficult, I must admit. Funny thing was, I had to tell them they had the macbook pro I wanted in stock. They were still trying to sell the old macbook for £950...but their website said it was available to collect at store!

They will attempt to redefine the standards, and if that fails they will carry on anyway.

They'll rely on a 3rd party solution to prevent the building from collapsing - the customers will pay for this though an annual subscription....
