Default A simple way to transfer photos from your phone to Windows without installing anything on either

The whole saga is over and done with since Microsoft can't recover the

big deal. there more than half a billion win10 users. once a day per
store is nothing.


You talk like the developers I used to work with long ago, where they
figured bugs were just something that you have to learn to live with.

It's a big deal when a mandatory Microsoft Windows 10 Pro update bricks the
system. It's due to poor coding. Very poor coding. Lousy testing too.

Interestingly, the Microsoft retail store in the middle of Silicon Valley
is directly across the aisle from the Apple Sto


the microsoft stores are almost always near apple stores, except
they're a *lot* less crowded, often with the only people in them being
staff.


Interestingly, when I dropped off my computer at the Microsoft Store
earlier this week for them to fail at unbricking the operating system, I
snapped a few pictures within seconds of each other of the two stores,
which are directly across the hall from each other in Santa Clara
California.

The Microsoft store is almost a direct copy of the Apple model,


yep. everyone copies apple.


The Santa Clara California Microsoft Store was a lot bigger than the Apple
store though, and there was a LOT of gaming going on, with kids everywhere
playing the Xbox for free and a special glass room just for seminars.

But it did seem like a bigger copy of Apple, so I agree that they
capitalized on what Apple came up with (even though they told me they've
been there for many years).


as far as I
can tell, only about twice the size.


that depends on the store. some apple stores are *huge* and the older
smaller ones are being expanded or relocated.


This is the one in Santa Clara California, where the Microsoft Store is
clearly huge compared to the Apple Store.

PS: The Microsoft Store feeds you though, while the Apple store does not.


i've never seen food offered in any microsoft store.


They offered me a the coke you see in this picture...
