In the coming weeks Microsoft (MSFT) will make its mark with three new products: Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and the Surface tablet. In order to get the word out about its new re-imagined operating system, Steve Ballmer’s team of marketers are planning to open 32 “pop-up” shops in North America, according to Information Week. The stores probably won’t have quite the punch that Apple (AAPL) Stores do, but they should at least provide many customers with a first-hand experience of Windows 8’s tile-based user interface. A full list of the upcoming pop-up shops follows below.
