Waste of shelf space..
I do not understand why a retailer would waste shelf space on Apple products at all. The Mac Mini will take up valuable floor space that could have been given to state of the art PC's running the ubiquitous Windows XP operating system. Choosing to sell the Mac Mini at Best Buy is like McDonalds trying to sell Whoppers; it just does not fix the business model. I have long championed Best Buy for most of my electronic needs. I now need to revisit this line of thinking. If my dollars are being used to hawk Apple wares, my money might be better spent at retail outlets that understand what the public wants and craves. I will contact me rep to see if there is an MS reaction to this. I think Best Buy would think again if MS were to hold back on XP/Office licenses.
