Now let us watch the spinmeisters at the MSFT marketing department blame it on Apache/Unix. I can already hear them now, "Well, hotmail was implemented on Unix, using Apache, and if it would have been on an NT box with IIS, this would have NEVER happened! It's the fault of those open source programmers who don't know how to write secure code!"
I use amazon.com a lot, and I am very satisfied. There are usually more comments on the books from readers than other web sites. Sure, they may sometimes be a little more expensive, but it's well worth the convenience, and the quick shipping. 2-3 day shipping sometimes reaches me overnight. I haven't used amazon.com for anything other than books, but even though they do have different sections (books, videos, cds, toys, electronics, e-cards, auctions, etc.) they are in completely separate sections, and they are not all intertwined with each other, so when i'm in the books section, it feels like i'm only in a book store, when i'm in the auction store, it feels like i'm only in an auction site, and the rest of their sections. Of course, sometimes I just search for my books there, read reviews, and decide which ones to buy, then I go comparison shopping and buy the cheapest one. In any event, I don't know what the big deal to get upset about that they opened up these two new sections? Just my 2 cents...
P.S. Are you in any way affiliated with fatbrain.com?
Like a Pentium 133 w/ 16 MB RAM? I'm not even sure if NT can run on that at all, but Linux should run pretty well on that config! (I'm not sure though how fine it will run with all those web hits and file requests)
