It's just sad.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - Well done Microsoft, and thanks for the vote of confidence in the Apple Stores

The right words are: It's just sad! It's like watching a B movie remake...

I really, really, really thought this video was a spoof ! Incredible !!! Doesn't anybody at Microsoft have a self sense of self-respect or intelligence to think about something new? Didn't anybody say something ? Just as it says above: Sad, truly sad !

I am embarrassed for Microsoft. I am definitely no Apple fanboy, MS pretty much all the way except for my iphone (yeah, ok, I like my iphone!). That store looks allot like the Apple store where I bought my iphone, no joke! I was sooooo damn embarrassed when they did that yelling/screaming crap to me when I went in to buy my iphone 3gs this year.

First off, the layout = Apple! Second, one of the banner logos looked like Apple's one where they show off their thousands of apps. Thirdly, this is the best one, all those products running Windows 7, were NOT made by Microsoft!!! Instead they were HP's, Acers, Dells, I really don't understand what they're so proud of. Oh and lastly, the screaming people looked as if they were fakely happy, maybe only because they knew they were on camera, or first in store, not same as the excitement at Apple!
