Switched On: Rebooting retail in Redmond - Engadget

I think this actually makes a lot of sense -- a kiosk only goes so far. MCE, Zune, and recent smart phone / PDA type devices are considerably more interesting than a "solution center featuring platform and development tools" (ewwwwww).

Quoted: And what about Media Center? How often has it been demonstrated in a store's home theater setting, much less connected to an Xbox 360 in another mocked-up room?

Why do people think iTunes is cooler than WMP? I think this graphic says it all -- I'm not sure if it's the military style "BETA 2" or the super awesome "Turn it up" slogan. I feel like "Just say NO!" is hidden in there somewhere.

Good product, laughable marketing.
