 /me counts the number of microsoft products used in his company's
eCommerce site....oh. There are none.

 Just because they made money on it, doesn't mean it wouldn't have
happened with out him. If they hadn't made it, everying would be using
Macs. If that didn't happen, everyone would be using Amigas - at one stage
(1991), one home in 40 had an amiga in the UK & Ireland - at that time,
the PC penetration was lower!

 He was there in the right place, at the right time, and did the
profitable thing.
