OTOH, you do see Micr0$0ft doing everything they can to imitate Apple.
I was at Valley Fair mall the other day. Micr0$0ft is apparently =
building a
new store directly across from the Apple store there. They have gone to
the trouble and expense of covering the "under construction" paneling
with a full-color mural touting this fact, including employees dressed =
in
brightly colored Apple-store-like T-shirts sporting name badges =
identical
to those worn by the employees in the Apple store.
I wonder if Micr0$0ft is going to develop a Zune cash register, too?
