Amazon can takeover and have ebay forgotten at any given point. They just don’t feel the need to rush anything.

I guess e-commerce will be the way to go in a few years time. I haven’t tried it yet, though. I just shifted to Windows Vista and I’m quite worried that it’s not as secure as XP. I got rid of compatibility problems already courtesy of the drivers from http://www.radarsync.com/vista. Now if only somebody from Microsoft or a reputable PC magazine would categorically state that conducting e-commerce on Vista is absolutely safe.

I believe it to be a classic example of strategy vs operational efficiency, as described in one of the classic artcles writen by Porter. Amazon is targeting another set of values than ebay, but i guess considering their business model being different from Amazon, a score of 80 still looks better.
