We´ve monitored the effort of magento during the last 6 month. You guys did a really great job. More than 200.000 beta-downloads are a blast and i´m sure that this is only the beginning. There is such a huge potential for a professional open source shop-solution and a lot of people around the world are waiting for a tool like magento. I´m really interested in the next few month.
