> Not sure why you need to criticize it.

I was criticizing your expression. Amazon had A9 search and other ventures before AWS - they were far from being "an internet shop" even back then.

> I think you cannot deny that Amazon had "less to work with" when they started then Google has today. In terms of experience.

Indeed, but there was also less expectation. There wasn't any real competition, so they could get away with a hell of a lot less than Google can get with today.
