Microsoft to open PC Stores

Hi

Microsoft has announced that it will be opening computer stores:

"The company hired David Porter, a 25-year veteran of Wal-Mart Stores  Inc., as its corporate vice president of retail stores. Porter was head of worldwide product distribution at DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. since 2007. 

Porter, who is set to start work on Tuesday, is charged with improving the PC-buying experience. The company said his first task will be to set the timing, locations and design of Microsoft-branded retail stores, which will sell computers installed with Microsoft software as well as other company products. "

I wonder if they will be selling CP computers.
