Microsoft Retail Stores A Dubious Idea
Fri, Feb 13th, 2009 |
It may be telling that when Apple decided to get into retail stores, it hired the vice president of merchandising from Target to run them. Why do Apple stores look so much like Gap stores? Could it be Steve Jobs’ time served on the Gap corporate board?
So, when I read that Microsoft is getting back--yes, they used to have a store in San Francisco--into the retail business, I can’t help but notice they hired someone with 25-years’ experience at Wal-Mart.
