But it has to be first and foremost a store
They have to move product to stay open. This is basic common sense. They can't expect store operations to be underwritten as a kind of marketing device.

Whether the move will work for MS or not remains to be seen. I just get the feeling that MS execs think this is a much better idea than it really is.
