Microsoft Store Design Plans Leaked

A presentation showcasing design ideas for the upcoming Microsoft Store has been leaked to Gizmodo.

Taking the best elements from the Apple Store, Sony Style, Niketown and other retail shops, the Microsoft Store will focus on Windows 7, Windows Mobile, Xbox, PCTV, and Surface.

The Customer Journey is targeted towards Emily as she visits different areas of the store such as Personalization, Answer Bar, Software, Theatre Area, and Check Out.

Gizmodo highlights some main points of interest:
• There's going to be a Digital Media Wall—a massive screen—that wraps around the entire store, which you can see in some of the slides
• Lots of Surface demos
• Stage areas for Windows 7, Windows Media Center (PCTV), Windows Mobile and netbooks
• Their take on the Genius Bar is the Answer Bar
• They're already planning out huge demos and events around Project Natal and their secret mobile project Pink
• You can pay to have your birthday party at the Microsoft Store

The presentation posted is fifty four pages long and even contains competitive analysis. You can see all the slides by hitting the link below.
