There's a lot more to it than simply hanging a shingle.

Gateway tried it, and failed.

Dell tried it, and failed.

Then when Apple tried they all said it would fail.

And when it did not Dell tried it again, and failed.

MSFT seems to be doing well enough to expand, but then again they basically took the Apple concept, poached a bunch of Apple store employees and changed the sign.

We'll see if it maintains.
