I am after a new development laptop since visual studio 2010 chugs on my old laptop. To be honest my laptop is 7 years old and can not run the latest applications like it used too. So like any normal sucka I decided to pop to my local PC World. I had what I wanted spec wise. I really needed windows 7 pro as my OS platform because it offers the latest IIS.
Cut a short story even shorter, the sales person could not offer me any laptop with win 7 pro, probably due to an agreement with licensing. I would have to purchase an upgrade pro or full version and pay them to install it. The sales guy could not offer me any alternative.
I know this sounds a bit of a rant but I was quite shocked about un-helpful a PC World was because it suppose to specialise in this area.
