Vancouver has an Apple Store, a Samsung store and an HP Store and this holiday season it will be home to a pop-up Microsoft store. According to ZDNET, Vancouver will be the only Canadian city to have the pop-up Microsoft shop. Other stores will be in:

• Braintree, Mass.
• Chicago (downtown)
• Cleveland, Ohio
• Manhattan, N.Y.
• Miami, Fla.
• Natick, Mass.
• Portland, Ore.
• San Antonio, Texas
• San Francisco
• St. Louis, Mo.
• Vancouver, B.C.

The exact location is not known right now, however, Robson street with all the “For Lease” signs seems to be a decent candidate.

From ZDNET:

Microsoft Stores sell Windows PCs, Windows Phones, Microsoft and third-party software, games, peripherals and more. Microsoft also is going to sell its recently announced Surface PC/tablets through its Microsoft Stores in the U.S. and through select online Microsoft stores, as well. The ARM-based Surface RT devices are set to be available October 26, the same day that Windows 8 will be generally available in retail outlets and preloaded on new PCs.
