+1 with David and Lachlan here. Besides, listing speculation under the 'facts' section seems a bit of a stretch (^_^) There's no need to defend WO or belittle anyone else. Demonstrate why WO is the best solution available, and the rest will take care of itself.

Funny thing is that the iTunes Store is also running WebObjects and does it goes down everything a new song is released? Nope. So our guess is that when a new major Apple product is released, maybe they close the store to do some maintenance or for marketing reasons. What we DO know is that it's not a limitation of WebObjects, and at WOWODC West 2009 some engineers from the Apple Store team were there and they are very bright people, so we guess that they close the store for very valid reasons.
