Macworld.com — Say this about the folks at Microsoft: they sure know when other people’s strate­gies beat the pin­striped pants off their own. Not con­tent with open­ing up its own com­pet­ing mom-and-pop stores right next to Apple’s, the soft­ware giant has taken it a step fur­ther: accord­ing to reports, it’s actively try­ing to lure away Apple’s own retail staff to run its lit­tle shops of horror.
