Isn't Home Depot licensing Amazon's store logic? I don't remember why I have that impression, as I haven't been to Home Depot in ages, but for some reason it made me feel that Amazon was running their store.
I never heard anything like that. The Home Depot site doesn't feel much like Amazon's, but maybe they do and they just don't use it well. I have a friend who did some contract work for Home Depot and it sounded like they followed VP-empire-building-driven development.
That read like vampire building driven development.
