AppleInsider | Microsoft calling up Gurus to take on Apple's Geniuses

I saw an article from the AP News iPhone app and thought it was interesting.

The biggest thing I find interesting is that Best Buy is one of the stores targeted to contain Gurus. Doesn't Apple have Apple employees in some BB stores? If so, what is the likelihood of Apple yanking their contract with BB?

I've been in BB and while I have seen a small area dedicated to apple products, I've not seen any apple employees there.

Microsoft is
A. Learning from their mistakes
and
B. Learning from Apple's successes

Microsoft has always been about copying someone elses good idea, they have produced nothing innovative on their own, so this move should not come as a surprise to anyone.
