   What are they going to sell?

   What are they going to sell? Software and the Xbox!
   
   I'm guessing they picked Scottsdale because everyone there is retired, old, and don't have much of a clue about technology!
   
   Wow, I take it back, they should do well.

   the nerds are throwing themselves a party I wonder if Balmer will be there? If so crank up the air conditioning or he will be sweating all over the place.

   Bribery...

   If youre gonna bribe people, why not use something worthwhile.. like an iPod touch :)
   
   but hey.. Ashley Tisdale should attract 2 types of people. Pre-teen girls and pedophiles. Should be a great opening!

   It's the only way

   It's the only way MS can almost guarantee a crowd and some publicity from the news. Otherwise it would be a snoozefest. Come to think of it, yeah it will still be a snoozefest.

   The nerds? You mean the same ones who show up for Apple grand openings? Or are we talking a different set of nerds? You know, the couple who walk around in their matching "Carlsbad" shirts, like I saw over the weekend. Must've been planning a visit to the local Apple store, I guess (and is that what you're supposed to do, where your Apple T-Shirt to the local apple store?)

   Are they serious?

   I'm shocked they're going through with this. I mean, one could argue walking into a MS store is about as fresh as walking into a Best Buy--but with far less anticipation. At least Best Buy sells washing machines and dishwashers.

   Obnoxious employees

   i work in the mall and have had to deal with the construction workers and now the new employees for the microsoft store. They are an obnoxious bunch. The mall had a new wing open up last Thursday and, even the store is still not open, they had a very loud pep rally in front of the boarded up construction wall to attract attention to themselves. The employees are wearing 'I'm a PC' and Bing.com shirts. Just sad. i've seen lots of hardware from various manufactures moving into the store from the dock. With all the prizes they're giving away for the opening there'll definitely be a crowd there.

   Answer Bar?

   Seriously?
   
   I can imagine the two most asked questions:
   
   1. Why does this thing crash all the time?
   
   2. Can I have my money back?
