I found myself at the Palisades Center Mall last night which, at one point, was the 2nd largest mall in the country.

It was interesting to be standing in front of Best Buy on the launch day of a major Windows release and not see one single banner or in-store-display for the OS. It was just sitting on the shelf with all the other Microsoft software... including copies of Windows Vista (Product) Red.

This is in stark contrast to the launch of Windows 98 when I actually waited on line at midnight to get all kinds of deals at CompUSA in celebration of the Win98 launch.

I just found it interesting that you could practically hear crickets at Best Buy yesterday.
