www.destructoid.com/inside-microsoft-s-first-retail-store-152794.phtmlThe first Microsoft Store opened up its doors recently and Destructoid actually went out and saw it. They described it as pulling, kinda heavily, from the Apple Store concept but mentioned that "this isnt necessarily a bad thing". Personally I hope the MS Stores take off in popularity. Considering these will be going head to head against the Apple Stores, perhaps it will help the everyday mom-and-pop computer shoppers realize how unjustly overpriced Apple computers are by finally having a head-to-head comparison available.

OMG that is so true about apple's overpriced crap.
People are also calling microsoft on antitrust, when apple does much worse.
Nowadays apple computers are just overpriced pcs anyways since they switched to intel.
the only differences now are they use something called Extentive Firmware Interface, or EFI, rather then BIOS, and they use the GUID partition table instead of MBR.
Other then that they are just overpriced and overhyped PCs.
Hell you can run OSX on a pc now! You can ether get an EFI emulator chip that hooks up to your USB headers on the Motherboard (not the ports but the actual connectors on the MB itself) or nowadays you don't even need it!
