Interesting consumer perspective. It gets to the heart of the problem with Microsoft’s copycat retail strategy: they’ve created Apple-like stores but have almost no Apple-like products of their own. Just Xbox.

Interesting fanboy perspective. But remember when Apple opened its first stores (the first one is up the road in Tysons Corner Center), they didn't have any Apple-like products (read: insanely popular) either. Just their computers which at the time were struggling with the then very new, very buggy OS X.
