<So you think that it is in the business interests of AMZN use non-standard technology that would mean that it will not work on every browser on the Internet? Do you think that they believe that "standards stuff is nonsense> 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. Let's be real gentlemen. How do you think NSCP got thier browser lead in the first place; they bucked the HTML standards.
