I've been reading that MS is pushing aggressively to quickly widen retail distribution. They might've finally realized that missing Christmas season would mean missing a prime opportunity. Even if people aren't looking specifically for a Surface, people are hitting the stores for holidays, so it's a great chance to grab eyeballs and introduce your products.
Apple moved to our latest mall leaving the mall they left for a better deal. Quite the battle; CC was (apparenty) accused of "stealing" Apple away from the old mall and CC (apparently) said, "Yup, we did, pound sand." Anyway . . .
I read where Microsoft also wants to open a store in CC. They applied for some sort of permit or what have you.
The "fake but it almost looks real because it is real, because it is carries water from the real natural City Creek hence the name City Creek" Mall will run red with Apple juice if they oppose the Great and Powerful Microsoft! Long Live Microsoft..."Ve Vill Crush You" so say my Microsoft Overlords. All I know is Android is banned. Or perhaps I made that up.
As for BlackBerry, they make nice pies.
