Microsoft Corp. is opening its second store ever and its first in California today at The Shops at Mission Viejo. It's a new enterprise for the company, which launched its first retail spot in Scottsdale, Ariz., last week.

Microsoft spokeswoman Lindsey Kociela says the company selected the Mission Viejo location because of its prime retail offerings in Orange County.

Through the local store, as well as the Scottsdale spot, the company is working to "connect directly" with consumers.

"Right now we're ... learning from the shopping habits and technology preferences of O.C. residents," says Kociela.
