4:29 PM EST 		From the Yahoo! Tech News piece 'Microsoft to open own stores, take on Apple' via Reuters at http://tech.yahoo.com/news/nm/20090213/tc_nm/us_microsoft
Quoting:Microsoft, bruised by the poor reception of its latest Vista operating system, is facing increased competition from Apple, which is eating into the personal computer market and dominates the personal digital music player market with its iPod line.
From this, Yahoo knows quite well how far its former would-be purchaser has fallen. Again, Microsoft has all but admitted how poorly it has fared with Vista sales.

Will be the final outcome of the ex-DreamWorker's (David Porter's) Microsoft Retail Sales initiative be a mere pipe Dream -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_dream ??
