First MS Retail Stores Will be In Scottsdale, AZ and Mission Viejo, CA
UnknowingFool writes "MS has announced the locations of its first two retail stores. The first one will be located at The Shops in Mission Viejo, CA sometime in the fall. There is an existing Apple store at the location. The second one will be located in Scottsdale Fashion Square in Scottsdale, AZ. That location does not have an Apple store. According to Corporate Communications Director Kim Stocks, the locations were picked because they were 'hot markets,' presumably meaning high traffic. Also, the stores will sell laptops, Zunes, Xbox 360s, MS and 3rd party software. No details on which laptops were provided."
You really did not understand at all what the above poster is saying, huh?
The above poster was saying Microsoft could threaten a OEM with FEWER stores. That is assuming the Microsoft stores take some non-zero percentage of the market. Removing the ability to sell in the Microsoft stores makes FEWER stores, not more.
Now you can maybe argue that it is unrealistic or false or whatever, but please try to at least form some comprehension of what was being said, rather than posting a sentence that proves you are a complete moron.
Really the level of intelligence of the shills here is going down really fast.
