"Re-imagined" strikes me as a nice, PC way of saying "re-purposed".
They went from 135 to 200 in a blink. wow.
while the forward P/E ratios aren’t as insane as the late 90s ones (100), they are kinda high but analysts see msft making a whole lotta money the next few years.
And I don’t know if that court case against them regarding the 10 Billion defense contract, once resolved and if in their favor will make it go even higher.
A pity - I liked seeing the competition for the Apple Store, and I ended up buying a Surface tablet from the MS store at the local mall.
They had stores?
A good description of SEPTA and similar inner city governmental agencies, but I digress.
I have been buying computers since 1989, and I don't think I have ever bought one from a store. My next one might be bought from a store, but that will be because my daughter works at a hole-in-the-wall computer repair shop that rebuilds business laptops and builds custom gamer desktops.
There is a MicroSoft store across from an Apple store in our local mall. Apple store is always busy, and the MS store rarely has even one customer.
Microsoft had so few stores I never knew they had any.
I wish some retailer would takeover these stores and sell all brands catering only to computer related products.
The stores would hold game nights on weekends for kids and teens. Almost certainly kids would coax their parents into buying equipment, peripherals, and accessories.
It was also nice to get to touch new lines of computer products, to absorb their look and feel.
There’s still Best Buy but it’s not the same.
Fry’s Electronics is weird. Their store aisles had become like ghost allies, lots of signs but no inventory. Kid you not. Maybe they’re gone by now. Haven’t checked on them in months. Last I asked one of their floor people where’s the inventory? He said it was on order. He later told me he was just hired. WTH?

“Offshored to Lahore”
Did Microsoft stores have “Geniuses”?
I understand that they sold several units per year at each location.
Wait, Microsoft had actual stores?
