  1. Review - AOL Desktop for Mac

    Beta 5 Build 225 (Jan 8, 2008)

    Good product! The menus are simple and easy, you don't need to go every which way to be able to do what you want. AIM is built into the software which is awesome. You got the menu buttons to take you to where you want within the AOL network, without having to type the URL in. Pretty good start. Can't wait to see what's next. :)

  2. Review - AOL Desktop for Windows

    2.0.58.1 Beta 7 (Nov 11, 2007)

    AOL's doing a great job catching up. To call this program a program for only "newbies" or people who don't know much about computers is false. I've used PCs and Macs for years and this program is amazing because I don't have to open a mail program, then a IM program, then a web browser and then have to deal with all that cluttering up my desktop. All I need to do is open this program and click the icons within the program and I'm where I want to be. It simples things rather than opening each app. individually and taking up space. For example: if you want to check the sports scores and check your e-mail. Open the program, click the Mail icon then click the Sports icon. Newbies to the web will love how easy it is to get from place to place and experienced people will appreciate the fact of getting from one area to the next without loads of clutter on your desktop and the need to not have to open multiple programs to get to where or what you want.

    On a side note: I honestly don't see why people are allowed to "Review" a product without even trying it. A review is supposed to help people decide whether they want it and all I see is people bashing AOL for the past history and past apps. I appreciate those who do "real" reviews rather than just come on here and bash the company and call it a "review" then accuse those who like the product of "working for AOL" or whatever company they don't like. I love this site, but I find it very difficult to really want to read the reviews here, if it is all non-sense.

    Right hand column, just like the last design. Same place as the last design. :)

    It's good to see two sites which are actually easy to navigate. Kudos to Yahoo & AOL for doing what their customers want now.
