Microsoft to offer checkout software for retailers:

Microsoft Corp., the world’s largest software maker, said on Wednesday it would launch new software for small retail stores that allows owners to replace cash registers and automate sales and inventory management. Microsoft Point of Sale, which will be offered from June, is part of Microsoft’s push to sell more software to small- and mid-sized businesses. Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft has long offered a version of its Windows operating system for retail store computers.

An MS product actually called PoS … can they at least TRY not to make easy fodder for the pundants? Scoble, which marketing genious decieded to call this thing “PoS”? I mean how about something like “Retail Suite” or “Register.” Nope, they chose PoS. That’s CRAP! 😉
