Being a huge Windows fan I find myself not paying deep attention to Apple however the one thing that consistently catches my eye is their level of customer service, As Microsoft continues to build retail stores I hope they can maintain and even beat the “Apple Experience”. Here is a story from my cousin’s recent trip to an Apple Store.
