Microsoft a couple days ago opened a new retail store. Their first in fact. And guess what it looks like? I'll help you: Apple. Yes, I just about fell out of my chair when I saw just how blatanly MS copied Apple retail store design. From the ceiling light layout, to the staff wearing showstring nametags, to the furniture, layout, and even a genius bar (although they call it something different). OH, and if you had a chance to preview their new OS, you might also notice how it copied just about ever apple OS widget and application. It just goes to show that MS has run out of ideas and is relying on stealing their competitions ideas for their own. I'm just ashamed at MS for such blatant disregard for originality.

Meanwhile, Apple just hit it's stock all time high and is converting more and more PC users to mac lovers. :) I'm one of them.
Just sharing my thoughts.
PS: You PC users who fear buying a Mac because you won't be able to run your PC apps, fear no more--there is (and has been for years) an app that lets you run you PC applications directly from within Mac: "Run your favorite applications at the same time, regardless of the OS! No more rebooting to switch between OSs to use the applications you need." Check it out: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/pd40_tutorial-en_US/ Now you have no reason not to buy a Mac. :)
