Will Microsoft’s retail store open in time for the Windows 7 Release?

Looks like Microsoft is pushing hard to have there first retail store opened by the release date of Windows 7. This will be there first step into a retail market currently dominated by Apple,but will they make it in time? Although they haven’t officially offered up a opening date, there store in Scottsdale,Arizona seems like it is just needing some finishing touches and to be filled with product.

When asked Chief executive Steve Ballmer teased reporters with an imminent opening on Friday, but also would not commit to a date.

“We’ll open a couple of stores, try to improve, open a couple more stores,” Ballmer said at a public appearance in downtown Boston.

“It’s very important for us to have a direct connection with the user,” said Ballmer, talking about the planned stores, which he said will be important for “showing the customer what you really can do.”

CNet’s Dong Ngo took a late-2008 model 15-inch MacBook Pro and used it to compare Snow Leopard 10.6.1 and Windows 7 64-bit RTM (with native drivers from Boot Camp 3.0). The machine was equipped with a 2.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB of RAM, and a 512MB Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT video card – all fairly standard in the average laptop.

Ngo found that Snow Leopard outperformed Windows 7 in nearly all areas except for graphics (likely due to better drivers from Nvidia). Some results are:

- Snow Leopard booted and shut down around six seconds faster than Windows 7.

- Snow Leopard took 149.9 seconds to convert 17 songs from MP3 to the AAC format. Windows needed 12 seconds more for the same job.

- Snow Leopard took 444.3 seconds vs. Windows 7’s 723 seconds to convert a movie file from the MP4 format into the iPod format while having iTunes converting songs in the background the job (versions of QuickTime were different, however).

- In a battery test, Windows 7 lasted 78 minutes, while Snow Leopard managed to stay on for 111 minutes.

- Windows 7’s Cinebench R10 score was 5,777 vs. 5,437 for the OS X.

- Windows 7 in Call of Duty 4 scored 26.3 frames per second while Snow Leopard got only 21.2 fps.

Interesting..but not conclusive ……
