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.
I personally tried to call Bill Gates to suggest that he starts off slowly with a few of those little carts and kiosks first, and see how it goes. The gal on the phone said, "We have nobody by the name of this Bill Gates fellow you speak of working here." I said, "really?" She said, "Really."
Then she connected me to thMicrosoftft Help Center in India, and I spoke to some Indian chap named Pahkatos Owyeen. (Translates to Five Wounds, if my Cherokee to English translator is any good) He said "Thank You, Come Again." So I thanked him and I said "mosdefinitelyly, I will indeed arrive once again to partake in youbountifullyll wisdom" and he said "thank you, Pale eyes, come again." How he knew my given Indian name, I will never know.
I wanted to suggest that they can open a small store and go from there. If they have a hard time of it, perhaps they can add sunglasses as a side line. Everyone in the mall goes nuts over cheap sunglasses. If you do not believe me, remember, some long haired freaky rock group sang about Cheap Sunglasses which is why they sell so well in malls. I know there ivacancyency because the BJerkyrkey card folded; the space is open.
