Well, they finally updated the look of the Education landing page. It had been a long time since that was updated (iMac G5 was pictured).

Both now working... unlike myself. Better do some before anybody here notices me going.

Just had a live sales chat with someone on the UK Store...
"Hi there - I noticed the store was unavailable for a period of time, may I ask why this was?
Deborah: Yes that's right
Deborah: It was just down for planned maintenance
Deborah: Apple appreciates your interest and encourages you to stay up to date on Apple news. Visit Apple Hot News at www.apple.com/hotnews to keep up to date with the latest Apple news and releases."
Not especially helpful, but it may have just genuinely been down for maintenance!

"Astronomical", to quote a certain other person on these boards
sounds like an awesome guy...
So when you click on the store you get this link
http://store.apple.com/us?mco=MTE2MjI
But take away the "us?mco=MTE2MjI" from the address bar and then you get the store is down page. weird.

Both work for me. Just wait a while, the store is not fully up yet. There might not be any new products, brace yourselves!
The first two answers sounded human to me, but I think the last sentence was just a stock reply they can auto-insert into the conversation, to save them typing it.

ahahahaha!
once you clicked on one of the buttons though however, the old school search page comes up. it's just a face-lift.
Here's something I noticed.....
If you click on the mac refurbs section, on the right side of the screen under special offers, it shows that the macbook air is now $1499 (refurbished), but if you scroll down, it still shows $1549.

I can't believe they would close the online store for this long just to have minor updates to the website.
They are losing way to much money having the site down that long.
Unless something went totally wrong and they only had intentions of having it down for half an hour.

Might have something to do with it being 4:30-am on a Tuesday on the east coast.
