Magento Vs Amazon WebStore

I like to do designing, developing for E-Shopping and Internet Marketing sites. I wanted to know which platform Magento Vs Amazon WebStore is best.

I was an Amazon Employee for 2 years and 8 months. I worked for 40+ E-Commerce on Amazon WebStore, eCommere platform including big clients like ToyWatch USA, Timex, etc. I have heard other popular eCommerce Magento.

Based on my experience in designing, database & developing, I must admit that  both platform are great, powerful and  have some limitation.

My conclusion is Amazon WebStore and Magento have similar function structure such as browse the products, the product category, the product description, the checkout, shipping, etc. But Magento has slightly advantage than Amazon WebStore, that is you can download and install Magento Package on your machine and executing  it live on your own machine ( http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1) While Amazon WebStore 2.0 can’t
So,  I like to work in either Amazon WebStore or Magento. I’m happy to have the great experience on these wonderful platform.
