Microsoft Opens First New Retail Store in Scottsdale, Arizona

[Goona]

Come to think about it the only black people I've ever seen actually working in an Apple store were security guards. Are they Apple employees or from another company?

 

[Stately]

What computers are they possibly going to put out on the tables to pretend that they are like Apple even more? They don't even make computers. So basically they are just creating a bunch of PC stores that look and feel like Apple stores just to be annoying? What on earth is the point? There's nothing Microsoft to buy.

Money talks

"Whoo!!! I got a job for the next 6 month or so!! Whoo!! Microsoft is paying my rent I better be yelling as loud as I can!!"

That's all Microsoft can do, throw money at people to make it look like they are passionate for them. People line up to buy Windows & because it promises to do what Vista failed to do, there are no loyalty like that of a MacAddict. Imitate all you want, Microsoft, your imitation just further validates what Apple does is working.

Curse this thread for making me deviate from my studies!! ahhaha I was supposed to be studying for the past two hours! ahhah.
Oh well, had some good laughs. Gonna go play some Xbox 360
PEACE OUT everyone! What can I say, MS does have a good gaming console! Modern Warfare : ) (I know, it's good on a mac too)

 

[deputy_doofy]

All joking aside, it will be interesting to hear how they start addressing computer complaints. I wonder if they have service contracts with Dell, HP, and such, or if it's going to be a blame-the-hardware-vendor game.

 

[jphall]

I wonder if this may help the consumers in bringing down prices of Apple products in the future. If Apple holds to their guns, I wonder if Microsoft will raise their prices!

Hmmm, have you seen the prices of Windows 7? And how many versions do they need?

 

[scottness]

Nobody cares. Go whine to a 10 year old kid with cancer and tell him how hard you have it. "Waahh wahh, you're gonna lose me apple if you don't fix spotlight. My life is ruined."

get over yourself its a ***** operating system.

having a bad day, are we?

Well, they certainly annoyed you for some reason. One success at a time I guess. It's a slow start but who knows where they'll go with this.

Nothing like a couple old white guys in suits opening a computer store that's going to revolutionize the world!

 

[thecartoonguy]

Awww Mac fanboys giving this a negative rating how sad for them. I'd definitely shop at this store.

Of course you would considering they hardly have anything to sell there. BWAAAA HA HA HA Amazing. The whole point is to demo their O/S. You can go into any Best Buy to see that.

Why do you care ? You have a Mac. Worried about something ? Go on, tell us about it.

Rant

I've been meaning to post this rant for a while.

Does there have to a jack ass in every thread that complains about:

1. Mac fanboyz

Your pissing on a forest fire by complaining about Apple fanboyz. Nothing you could complain about could possibly stop us from being fanboyz. This is a mac community discussion forum for the love of Christ. What do you expect? I'm sure you could find a zillion other forums where people like yourself hangout.

2. The thread topic having to do MS or another competitor.

The worst part of my life, I kid you not, is having to use Windows. I absolutely despise Micro$soft. So much lost time and productivity because those jokers don't care to take pride in their work. That company goes against so many things I believe in. I'm glad MacRumors starts threads about M$ so us fanboyz can bash them at will. I don't give a rats ass if MS occasionally puts out a decent product. I've got this great little 100% apple household going and I'm not going to F' the whole thing up by switching over to fill in the blank MS product. Yippee, Win 7 isn't that bad. Woohoo! They couldn't pay me to use that pathetic garbage.

I deeply care about the way things look. I will happily pay extra for Apple's amazing industrial design. I'm happy Apple allows me to fork over my money for their products. Anything they want, $100 here, $3000 there, I don't give a crap, just don't make me uses MS products.

Yeah and Bubba will steer you over to the Macs first.

 

[deputy_doofy]

It does seem like Fanboy(i) bashing, but the reality is, why can't MS come up with its own style?

I'd love to see an end to Windows and a brand new OS from scratch. In the main era of VMs, let people who need legacy apps run Windows in a VM.

 

[roosta]

you just have to love the blue screens of death all along the wall at the start

 

[jphall]

Who are you? On the wrong forum? Maybe?

 

[Peace]

Mac vs. PC.

I'm gonna put on my PC fanboy uniform for a sec.

Oh. the irony!.

 

[MWPULSE]

it kinda looks like they even got the display tables with all the crap on from the same place! HA! these stores were always going to lame of absolute highest magnitude!! lol

PTP

Lol, they sooo did lol. I just have a thing about people ripping off the work/ideas of others. It's one thing to take something established like a sneaker and make it your own, but to blatantly recreate and then put your name on something is an entirely different story ya know?

 

[LagunaSol]

Windows 7 is easily the best version of the OS that Microsoft has ever released,

It's easy to meet (surpass) the mark when you've set the bar so low with your previous products.

while Snow Leopard is like one step forwards and ten steps back for Apple.

Ten steps eh. Care to elaborate?

Windows 2000 was an excellent OS.

 

[Apple!Fre@k]

WOW. A blatant copy of Apple's stores.

Anyone else thinking how long it will be before Microsoft changes their name to AppleSoft?

 

[ed724]

Is it me or does it almost look like a Mac Store? lmao

Could be, after all MS is the one that called "Apple Stores" "Mac Stores". Yea, that's it, it's a Mac Store. I mean, the computers they're selling have mac addresses, don't they. DOH !!!

 

[Stately]

Well, now there will be a bunch of new shrunken down Best Buy's to go to lol.
