I have been an avid user of oscommerce for years now, so I was interested to see a new open-source ecommerce platform on the scene called Magento.

Oscommerce by itself is not much use, but a few mods on the layout and a handful of add-ons and it becomes really useful, but it has it’s issues . Magento appears to try and address these issues and make the customers buying experience more fluid and intuitive, but the only version available for download right now is a beta version with new updates being very frequent if does not look like a sensible choice yet for a fully operational commercial website, but I’m watching and waiting for a stable proper release.

You can see Magento at www.magentocommerce.com
