    Ummm. Interesting. Within the hour we'll know.



    No new iMacs I would presume since the U.S. store is not down.

    Well.... yeah



    I'm thinking not updates tonight, just a software update for the euro stores. the euro stores always seem a bit more hacked together than the US one.



    but we always have paris..

    Don't you find it weird that they dont just , flick a switch and update the site. Guess they like the drumroll entrance..

    I know what they are doing, it's a dummy run for the main site update when the new iMac or whatever comes out!



    Guess they figure they can be without the euro sites for a while...

    Strike me silly, but why would it ever be needed to shut down the Apple store? As tadunne said before, 'flicking a switch' should do the trick, no?

    Apple probably does a final test run after moving the new site onto the production servers. If you are rolling out something new, you don't want your servers to choke or the sight to go down because you forgot to update all the code or a table or something.



    That's my guess anyway.



    I'd rather they take the time and do it right. I mean, we're talking an hour? Can you imagine what kind of traffic spikes their servers get when new hardware is released?
