osCommerce was started in March 2000 in Germany by project founder and leader Harald Ponce de Leon as The Exchange Project. While officially osCommerce is still in its development stage, the current Milestone 2.2 release is considered stable as evidenced by the thousands of stores around the world which spot the phrase, “powered by osCommerce.” The planned Milestone 3.0 is expected to be a major re-write of the program to incorporate an object-oriented backend, a template system to allow easy layout changes, and inclusion of an administration-area username and password definition during installation.

Well , it is so recent than most histories , lol because it has not even been a decade long . it provides a basic set of functionality that meets the common needs of all online businesses. By taking this approach osCommerce has avoided the pitfalls that many application historically suffer from like too much functionality requiring overly complex implementation.
