I think going with something like Magento or Interspire is much better than oscommerce. Yeah I tend to agree when it comes to self hosted software, you just have more control.

But... I run b2b and retail sites using osc and I wouldn't *dare* hand over the hosting of my store to another business I have no control over. I can move my source code to another server today if I want, but not so with Shopify. Sure my provider might go down, but the impact will be minimal...I do backup ;) I would be curious to know if the underlying code in Shopify can handle only allowing prices to be viewed by customers with validated accounts (as necessary with b2b), including VAT calculations for intra-community transaction when a customer has a valid VAT number, for example. I know where you're coming from about lining up pixels tough :) Hi
