The oversupply at the new Microsoft Store in Danbury, Connecticut

As we reported last night, Microsoft was ready to open their latest Store in the quaint country of Connecticut who famously but allowed alcohol to be sold on Sunday's just a couple of weeks ago (no joke).

Reader Nicholas R. was there and sent us this report and collection of photos from the event. Overall, nosotros're quite impressed with the sound of things and look frontwards to that Huntington Station opening hither in New York. Check out his telling of the event and pics(taken with a Lumia 900, of grade) below!

"Then I stopped by a couple hours later on the shop opening this morning. At that place were a lot of people there, but it sounds like there were even more than when the shop really opened. Some people even camped out overnight in forepart of the mall. Plain Microsoft was giving out Xboxes, laptops, and tablets to some of the lucky get-go people. Past the time I got there, they only had zip-up blankets, t-shirts, and concert wristbands left.

In terms of store layout, it'due south actually pretty prissy. Although people accuse MS of stealing Apple's idea of wooden tables and chairs, the overall store doesn't feel like an Apple store. It definitely has a different feel; I guess I would call it futuristic. They have the displays with computers, Xboxes, Windows Phone, etc. They also have some Kinects scattered around for people to play with. In the middle of the shop is the Reply Desk-bound. A big glass wall is backside the Answer Desk and separates the front of the store for the back. The back is fairly spacious and has a big TV with a Kinect attached to information technology. Today, they were passing out the tickets for the concert in the back. But I think they might concur other events there in the hereafter. On the wall surrounding the store is a long screen that changes animations.

Their demos actually extended out into the mall space today. They had some more TVs setup with Kinects out in the mall. These were linked together and then people could play confronting each other correct there. They also had a DJ stand and some speakers setup, but it was unattended when I got there (I assume that was for the opening). Out in the parking lot, they practise have a big stage setup for the concert later in the evening."
