Not enough, at least not at the Best Buy level. MS would have had to take 
out full page ads saying "THIS IS NOT A WINDOWS 8 COMPUTER" and I don't 
know if that would have even worked.

work with emulation but not as well as on x64 and somethings will not work 
at all. Otherwise they will have the same early adopters whining.
