First MS Retail Stores Will be In Scottsdale, AZ and Mission Viejo, CA 189
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."

Should be fun to watch this unfold because unlike other Microsoft failures, this failure will not take out the innovator in the market.

Though to be honest, these could be a big hit (unfortunately, for the cause) if they sold and repaired Xbox 360's. On the spot exchange for a unit, just like Apple stores do.

If they had any chutzpah, they'd put one in Cupertino! Really, if they're competitive, beard the lion in his den!
