It's pretty hard to duplicate the Apple Reality Distortion Field (and I say that as a happy Apple customer). Look at every attempt Microsoft has made to be more like Apple, such as the Zune, their own line of stores, etc. Every time, they fall flat on their face and show their legendary ability to just not get it, and to be the least cool kid in the school. It would be fantastic if Radio Shack could pull off some sort of Apple-Store-like presence, but I don't see that happening. If they tried, it would be something like rapping grannies singing about how the cool kids say "no" to drugs.
