Geek In Disguise

Bing as an entry point? If that was deliberate you're infinitely more observant than I am.

I think a lot of fans are eager to apply for roles in retail, Microsoft has some dedicated followers (like me!) who share the vision of a connected home, the people who grew up watching Bill Gates' CES keynotes as though they were the Christmas Lectures. I spent my late teenage years getting my parents into a connected home with Media Center TV (+extenders), handwriting recognition, voice recognition, my parents always thought it was a bit ridiculous but my dad bought a couple of Macs a year ago and whilst he still uses them he misses the features and will probably switch to Win7.

I am surprised to see somebody already in the firm feeling the same way, its nice to see that sort of passion still exists within a company Microsoft's size.

Steve - a Windows shop with no windows ? ;)

yeah, weird I know Jason.

I went in the Apple store last week and asked where I could buy some Granny Smiths and they looked at me like "duh" :)

madness

as much as the world gets digital people still need something tangible. I think Nokia have created some great retailer experiences taht are all about the brand and less about the sale. I think apple do it well but much more of a sales push

let people use the space to get excited about the brand and buy it somewhere else
