TechRadar has posted some really interesting spy shots of a planned Microsoft Retail Store. As you can see from the shot above (and I’ve posted more below), the concept is open and friendly… much like an *cough* Apple *cough* store. The model is 1/18th scale, and if you check out the window dressing shot below, appears to be named the ‘Windows Mobilization Flagship Environment’. Catchy name, no? :P

Microsoft appears to take a shot at Apple here as well, with a ‘Pear’ wallpaper clearly visible on computer screens within the model.

I wasn’t able to spot any Windows Mobile devices inside the store, but no doubt you’d be able to chat up Win-Mo with a customer representative should the store become a reality.
