Microsoft Announces Plans to Open Retail Stores

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) has announced plans to open their own chain of retail stores that will sell computers already installed with Microsoft software and products.

The move is similar to what Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) has successfully done and Microsoft will now try to replicate that success. Along with selling computers, software and products Microsoft would also be promoting its new operating system Windows 7 along with updates to its current software and products.

Still in its initial stages, there have been no announcements about when the stores will open or where they will be placed.

Former Wal-Mart executive David Porter will be heading up the new retail division.

Addressing the decision to open the retail stores Microsoft’s chief operating officer Kevin Turner stated, “There are tremendous opportunities ahead to create a world-class shopping experience for our customers.”
