(Note: Maybe it's just me, but the storefront with the Microsoft logo flying up in a framework of glass looks an awful lot like an Apple store. Just sayin'... Well, at least they don't have the GLEAM* homosexual rainbow flag alongside the logo.)

Just like Microsoft to copy everything Apple does, just extremely late to the party. No originality whatsoever! Every Microsoft store I've seen is practically empty of customers; what a joke.
Do you think Apple is the first company to realize that visually attractive stores lure in customers? Big hanging logos? Jeez, retailers have been doing that for well over a century.
It's interesting to look on Google Maps to see that location, which happens to show it before Microsoft moved in. It was a clothing store. They completely redid the facade but I suspect the basic structure of the building remained intact.
I also notice that Microsoft cleverly edited out the names of the other stores visible in their picture, which is sort of interesting.
