A Microsoft Store is coming to the Danbury Fair Mall. Microsoft has begun to roll out its own stores in various locations across the USA. The content and style of these stores has been influenced by Apple Stores for sure but they are different with their own brand of greatness. When it opens, expect lots of large wall displays, demonstrations of XBox 360 Kinect, Windows Phone availability and a great laptop selection. Great hardware, great software, great accessories will all be there with Sales, Service, Answer Desk, classes and more. The Microsoft Store will also be a place to get connected to new Windows 8.
