“As we progress on our retail strategy there will be scenarios where we have stores in proximity to Apple,” a representative told CNET News. “We are on track to open stores in the fall time frame.”
Cnet reporter Ina Fried believes the company will start with a few test stores, and then open more in 2010.
Microsoft Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner, a former Wal-Mart exec, seems to be heading up the effort.
