A few weeks ago I noticed that Microsoft made an interesting move and opened up Microsoft Live Portrait Studio on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights. At first I did a double-take thinking, “Could they really have opened up a portrait studio?” What a waste. Apparently, they opened up for a “three week pre-Mother’s Day program.” Never once did I see anyone walk in. The only action I saw around the store was a few young girls dressed in the Microsoft garb, (khakis and a dark blue/black shirt with the Microsoft Live logo) hanging outside the store on the steps. Well, on my way home from work tonight I walk passed, and guess what, bye bye Live Studio. Your three weeks have expired. Good riddance. Now show me an Apple store will ya, Steve (Jobs)?
Microsoft Live Portrait Studio… Goodbye.
