Finally, someone at Redmond woke up. http://winsupersite.com/mobile-devices/microsoft-best-buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoondoggy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 After the Samsung Best Buy announcement, I was wondering if Microsoft would be next. I think it is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmwills Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 If you read the article, it says the stores will be staffed with Microsoft Trained Associates and not the walk-in off the street people usually working in Best Buy. My second career choice is looking better and better......but I'll still hold onto my Wal-Mart greeter application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It's about time. The Windows section at Best Buy can be quite a mess at times, especially thinking of the Surface devices which look like someone just dumped them on the display table. And this is really good for Best Buy who I feared was going out of business. This, along with Samsung, should bolster them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikon Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Have to admit, I'm kinda hoping a Best Buy within 100 miles of me gets one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
