A slide from a leaked PowerPoint presentation regarding the interior design of the forthcoming Microsoft retail locations. You’ve seen a polished wooden table with products laid out like this before, I’m sure.
I don’t blame them. Replicating winning concepts was the original Microsoft success.
The problem here is, of course, they’ll never be able to make the store’s architecture mimic whatever design motif/era the company is working with, since they don’t make the computers themselves. Duh.
I’m a firm believer that seeing metal and glass laptops lined up in a metal and glass building is a subconscious happy-upper when entering an Apple Store.
