While OSC is mentioned: I use OSC (actually CRE Loaded version: http://www.creloaded.com) for a last 2-3 years and installed several shoping carts. And, they, more or less, work fine. Though, what drives me nuts, instalation sometime goes wrong with missing file, or after patc I have manually to delete some files to make it work... And, what scares me the most, on their forum you can find a tons of installation questions/problems. And most of them will stay unanswered. The reason I shoosed OSC is it was so easy make my own changes and "versions", comparing to xcart (I installed two of those too and they look fine and stable to me).
My question is actually, your opinion about OSC and/or CRE Loaded, safety, support and, of course, how the application is coded (as friend of mine told me once "the worst code ever written that works fine" :)).
