Forget Seinfeld. Can Windows gurus help the Windows brand?
- ----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft isn’t opening brick-and-mortar Microsoft stores. Instead, this
| holiday season, Microsoft will be hiring 150 or so Microsoft-trained “Windows
| gurus” to work in retailers like Best Buy and Circuit City to help explain
| how Windows, Windows Live services and Windows Mobile PCs and devices work.
| The gurus will “assist PC buyers, similar to the Nordstrom model of ‘personal
| shoppers,’ where the focus is more on informing and supporting the customer
| than on the actual sale,” according to Microsoft.
