I can guarantee Apple don't even need to do that. They're bound to have another 'internal store' similar to how the higher education one works off IP addresses so they don't have to do that. It should just be a flick of a switch and the new stuff goes live.
Got a tip for us?

So you don't have non production servers? At my work, all coding and testing is done on a non live system, when we are ready to make it live, files are simply copied over onto the live system, development can take as long as necessary, the handover process takes minutes.
1300 and still down... I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait???
I just wish it was down and then up more quickly if it's just the macbooks..now i've got my hopes up and their obviously going to be squashed!
haha at pic!
This just in - disaster in Apple server farm slows down store update:
which one's the monkey???
I really hope they are not caching my internet requests:

Depends on whether it is content based in which case you can switch part of the site off update that, make that live then update the other part.
If it's a major change then you cannot do that as you need to take the whole site offline. This may include database changes etc.
As someone who works in retail eCommerce for a major UK brand I do know what I'm talking about.
If Apple were updating their UK site with iPad goodness, wouldn't this page be down too:
http://www.apple.com/uk/ipad/
doesn't appear to be. Surely they'd need to change the blue 'notify' button to a 'preorder' one?

This has already been discussed and someone said before that the Mac pages aren't down, and don't normally go down when updating.
Eff it, I've got to bloody go. Feckin rehearsal bag o' ***** cow house shag nasty.
Ooops. Not very ladylike I know.
Here's hoping I will be back this evening to the happy sounds of iPad preorders and big smiles. If I can grab time to post from my iPhone I'll keep up to date.
Have fun folks.

Yes but
http://www.apple.com/uk/macbookpro/specs.html
Spec page if macbookpro's haven't been updated as yet either.
A glimmer of hope perhaps ?
Well, this is clearly MacBook updates (with the possibility of international iPads too), but I bet you can still access the "old" MacBook info too?
(haven't checked myself, i'm losing the will to 'click')
They could update that one later... after with all of us watching the store I suspect it'll be busy when it does come back for a while, and not having that link on the front page might give the store a little breathing space.
