Microsoft Plans Shops at RadioShack DALLAS (AP) - Microsoft Corp (Nasdaq:MSFT - news). will set up shops inside as many as 7,000 RadioShack stores to demonstrate and sell Microsoft's Internet-access services, the companies said Thursday. Microsoft will also make a $100 million equity investment in the newly launched RadioShack.com e-commerce Web site. Bill Gates, chairman of Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft, said the five-year deal with RadioShack will let the world's biggest software company reach customers in a new way and speed up the conversion of Internet users to high-speed access. The new Microsoft store-within-a-store is scheduled to debut in the third quarter of next year in RadioShack's 5,000 company-owned stores and up to 2,000 additional RadioShack dealers. RadioShack has recently struck other alliances with RCA to sell its digital entertainment gear, Compaq Computer Corp (NYSE:CPQ - news). and Sprint. Both companies said they will market each other's brands beginning late next year. Microsoft will pay to install its presence in RadioShack stores, and the Fort Worth-based retailer will be a major advertiser on Microsoft's network of Internet services, the companies said.
