Today, Microsoft is opening their flagship store right in the middle of New York City at Fifth Ave. and 53rd Street. The store is five floors, 22,369 square-feet and by far the largest of the hundred or so that have already opened across the U.S. Not only is the store the largest, but it also just a few blocks from the iconic Apple Store, which no doubt was planned.

We're here in New York City to cover the event all day, including a tour of the store. The ribbon cutting kicks off at 11:30 ET, although we are not expecting it to be streamed. The store itself is opening at noon. We'll be in the media section recording as much as we can, so expect a follow-up article later today with that and a quick look at the new place.

Grand Opening

Anyone planning on a trip to New York City soon? Will you be visiting this massive retail outlet for Microsoft?
