Microsoft will open brick-and-mortar retail store this fall with more coming next year. It will sell MS products and might sell MS compatible products from third-party companies.

Hmmm, I got a feeling it will be like the Sony Store, Apple Store, and Dell Stores. Selling electronics at a premium price compared to other places where you can buy them cheaper.

Hmm, I think it is just published on July 15, 2009 on Cnet the original source. The webmaster or reporters must be really slow or lazy.

I haven't really had problems with looking for availiability with MS products except for their corporate software like MS Server Datacentre edition 2008, Visio, and MS SQL server 2008, but few consumers buy them unless they need an MS computer with 2TeraBytes of ram and 64 CPUs for their home server which is very unlikely.

I've really only seen MS products online besides their game tech.

I mostly see MS Office, their operating systems, games, Xbox and at their store. In terms of hardware, I mostly see their mouses, keyboards and webcams at a store.

If you look around the software, keyboard and mouse section you probably see many MS products.

MS products are usually very easy to find in Canada.

I'm kind of surprised that such a big brand like MS is so hard to see where you live.
