Apple currently has an Apple retail store in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, and apparently not too long ago several stores closed opposite the Apple store, and now it appears that Apple’s new neighbour at the Mall of America will be none other than Microsoft.

So, what’s the big deal you may ask, well we have a video for your perusal courtesy of the guys over at Daily Mobile and by way of dandaman404 who used his iPhone to capture video footage to compare store sizes, and we have said video below.

The video lasts about a minute and a quarter and shows that the Apple store is about twice as big as the original Apple store, but then he pans round to show the size of the upcoming Microsoft store, and well let’s just say the Microsoft store looks somewhat on the huge size.

So is Microsoft trying to make a statement to Apple with their new premises? To check out the size of that Microsoft store head on down and mash the play button…enjoy.
