I don't know how much money is made through this site, but as a user I
wouldn't be buying from it when I get an "Operation Aborted" error message
when trying to load the page, so I would say that it was fairly critical
that the page was made usable by the majority, "Attempting compliance"
really isn't good enough.

Same comments as above it really isn't good enough for a commercial site.
As I usually use FireFox I would look at this site *sigh* at the fact it
doesn't work, then wipe the dust of off IE, fire it up and come across the
"Operation Aborted" error message, how much further do you think I would go
as a consumer to buy the product?

Well it was constructive, in that it got you thinking about it. :-)
Nothing specific just that when I ran it through the CSS validator it
failed, albeit nowhere near as badly as the HTML. Only 4 errors!
