I really like Microsoft’s approach to their grand openings. They are creating some great momentum going into the holiday season!

LLIBSETAG, what do you have against MSFT? You seem to criticize them every step along the way.

No thanks. I don’t see anything special at all.
@BellevueJohn
Those people are called losers, because they have nothing to be proud of in their lives, so they need to get religious for a brand named after a fruit.
Unlike you who bow down before a company named after something “tiny & not hard”.
Wow, your parents must be pround of you.
BellJohn : Yes as a matter of fact my parents are very proud of me as they taught me how to think for myself, speak my opinion when others don’t agree with you, question authority & learn how to spell too. (“pround”?)
Unlike your mommy & daddy who do not care if their children know how to spell & do not have a mind of their own & believe that it’s OK to be an evil monopoly.
Folks, let’s all ignore certain commenters and maintain the decency here.
If you google “LLIBSETAG”, you can see all the crazy comments this commenter leaves everywhere.
This is clearly someone you don’t want to waste time arguing with.
And just one last departing shot =). “Evil monopoly” lol? Did someone time travel back from the 1990s?
