The fact that Amazon.com didn't develop their own "technology" (yea, sure) or do something in this direction sooner (and cheaper) tells me they have basic flaws in their vision that they are now forced to try to correct. -------- That is a good question, Rob..... so what is wrong with purchasing the best product, already used by the competition.....to gain a competitive advantage? ....and inflict a little pain.....<G> Hey, Rob, what about a large user base e'tail biz...purchasing a HIGH MARGIN ( PORTAL)biz?.......(EDITORIAL COMMENT : Wait a minute,,,and I will tell you something for a change).....IMO, Margins cannot help but improve...even with an UP THE YING YANG increase in Marketing expenditure... As opposed to a high margin Portal Biz (a YAHOO)...purchasing a low margin ...small user base e'tail non-portal biz..... So how is this going to effect overall 22 percent margins for "the Amazing one"..?<G>
