Actually, I don't know. Seems that people just don't report when they are using
ozone. As I mentioned in one of my last mails, an Indian company recently asked
me if they can ship their CAD system with ozone because it uses ozone. I asked
back if they can give me some more details. No answer! They are using it but
they don't think it's necessery to give something back - not even some f*cking
small experiences... 
So, in other words, I don't know of a cnn.com grade site running with ozone
"in production". ;)

Maurizio, what can I say? It depends. ozone isn't an out-of-the-box product.
But if you are going to store some 10,000 objects, on a single processor
machine, serving 10 concurrent clients and you are ready to "actively" work
with ozone, then I don't see a problem. With 10,000,000 objects, on 32
processors and 1000 clients in a mission critical environment it might be a bit
early ;) But if nobody raises the object/client/processor marks it will be "to
early" even in 10 years...

So what do you want to do with ozone, Maurizio?
