Yes I do. Why is it that only non-financial programmers don't get this. If the standards body
says NSCP is the way to go, and the market says MSFT is the way to go, AMZN has a choice
to make if it has limited resources and the technologies diverge. Would you divert 80% of your
payroll to write to NSCP DHTML if 90% of your available audience is using the MSFT browser
with divergent technology, knowing that Barnes and Nobel is at your throat with superior
financial resources.

It does not take a huge amount of resources to make sure that AMZN's stuff runs on both Communicator and IE, and it is well worth them making sure that it does. And having the programmers follow the basic published standards tends to make code that works for all platforms.
So you really do believe that AMZN would be better off concentrating solely on IE?
