Never heard of such a thing.
mostly usa, with a few outside the usa, with hands-on tech support and
classes.

Wow! A single store outside of North America. Perfect...

Regent Street is about as accessible as Australia if I'm lugging around my
gaming pc.
not for people in london, plus not that many people have a gaming pc,
let along lug one everywhere they go.
Thanks for confirming there is effectively no tech support for the vast
majority of Microsoft's paying customers.
they can't cover the entire planet, nor do they have to.
they only need to focus on where their customers are, which is what
they're doing.
the store in new york city is *five* floors:

Since opening its first store in 2009, Microsoft has expanded its
retail footprint and online presence to serve more than 1 billion
customers through the companyıs community-based retail strategy.
Today, more than 80 percent of Americans live within 20 miles of a
Microsoft store, with more than 110 stores across the U.S., Puerto
Rico and Canada, as well as online stores operating in 189 countries.
1 billion is a lot of people.
meanwhile, not everyone has internet access to use the online stores.
