    Does anyone know why stores like Best buy and Circuit City do not sell Pro already on their laptops but Compusa does? When i went laptop shopping i needed a laptop with it because of our business but BB and CC didn't have it and i didn't want to pay money for Pro.

    Both are consumer shops, I'm surprised either offer it. It's a little more expensive and most people, even businesses, have no need for it.
