   Thanks for the info Hector,   
      
   What I mean is, we are are paying to to have our site upgraded and the company    
   that we are using wants to use IIS and a shopping cart on the front end of    
   winserver. I am debating if I should spent the money on the shopping cart and    
   programming or just have them upgrade the site html look and feel, and wait    
   for winserver updates.
