Microsoft to Open Retail Stores?

Microsoft is reportedly looking into opening retail stores. Selling expensive stuff to consumers has a lot to do with hands-on experience and branding and that is exactly what Microsoft hopes to boost. Microsoft products currently sell through a channel of partners and retailers, but you can imagine that there’s no “Microsoft Experience” there… One can imagine that software, video games, consoles, music players plus accessories will be part of the mix. Now what about releasing a music player or a phone that’s cool?
