I visited the store in Metairie (a little over an hour away). There were at least 5 or 6 staff in the store and I was the only customer just after 10 AM when the store opened. Their web site mentioned a roll out event from 10 AM to noon, but there was no action, looked like a regular slow (how do they stay in business?) day.
I should have called before I went. I can only use the business version with Windows Professional installed because of a particular program that I teach and use, which won't run on Win Home.
The business models are not stocked in stores and there's no way to upgrade the consumer model to Win Pro without paying $200 extra, when the business model is only $50 more. I'm hoping to be able to get the educational discount, which means I have to talk to specific people to order, not just the regular business order line.
Very disappointed that I wasn't able to bring a new toy home, but it is little and cute and I think I'll adjust to the keyboard pretty quickly. I was planning to get it set up today and use it for the last part of getting my course materials ready for the fall semester.
