Given they carbon copied everything you immediately notice about Apple stores (look, feel, employee uniform), I do find it surprising they didn't try to ape the store culture too.

There really are Microsoft fans that know how to relate with people. And a lot of them (and others) have a pathological hatred for all things Apple.

I'd hope for some swagger going into any branded store even if I thought their products were overpriced crap (I'm looking at you, Sony Store). Otherwise, it's just depressing.

Oh I'm not surprised at all. They're not very good at copying Apple after all! :D
