Microsoft should buy Barnes & Noble

Barnes & Noble would be a perfect purchase for Microsoft. You may think I'm crazy but I'm not there are a lot of good synergies here and a few down sides.

  • 1) It would put a presences for Microsoft in stores across the country. They don't have to sell PC but support staff and product information would be added overnight across the country.
  • 2) The next nook could run Windows 8. Amazon Fire in taking over the low end tablet market. The Nook install base would make a perfect in road into the low end tablet market for windows 8.
  • 3) Barnes & Noble need a savior. They just keep loosing money.
