Microsoft Store Experience

I was down in Mission Viejo, California this last weekend and of course had to stop at The Shops at Mission Viejo. Not only does it have some great restaurants, but also happens to have a Microsoft Store and I wasn't going to go past that store.

Before I stopped by the Microsoft Store, I passed by a Apple Store, of course I had to walk in. I ended up having a half and hour conversation with a Apple employee. We discussed Lion and the new MacBook Air. But I made sure to mention my intentions in this shopping center, to go to the Microsoft Store. He rolled his eyes, seems as they have there beef in that store. He said, you mean the store, that looks just like our store. I chuckled, and told him to have a nice evening.

I made my way out of the very crowded Apple Store, walked a few stores down to find a glass Microsoft Store, it did look very familiar. I walked into the store, was not as busy as the Apple Store by any means. I walked in, explained to the a women that happened to be staff, that I am a blogger and would love to do a tour, of the store. She asked her manager and they said that it was fine.

I then started the tour, I started to notice the laptops, that had none of the annoying stickers, or any of the crap load of trial software loaded on them. I walked and saw a kindle, and more. I was glad I got to check out the Microsoft Store, Staff seemed nice, and I will definitely make my way again. It was intresting to see the controversey between the Microsoft Store and Apple Store I suggested they played a baseball game, Apple employee's comment "We will win everytime."
