  1. Comment - AOL Marshals Troops Against MS XP Offensive

    There is a distinct difference between Making money because you are offering a service, and making money because you can force people to pay for it. IF MS were to make it so that AOL could not work easily or well on their OS. Most of AOL's computer un-savvy Customer base would probably Switch to MS's Product. This is a forceful removal of a competetor. It would also in all likelyhood put a big hole in AOL's income meaning downsizing then eventually MS would kill them off. If AOL is making money, then atleast the customers are giving them money by choice. If they don't like AOL they could (if they wanted to) go to MSN or what ever they are callling it now. yes both are making money both are Buisnesses Buisnesses do that.(Unless your amazon *shrugh*) But would you rather have a choice of which company gets your money or be forced to give it to microsoft? Given, from your Excellent grasp of English and apparent intelligence (I can derive your vast genius from the way you so eloquently craft your words) You probably wouldn't be someone who would use AOL. So when I refeer to You I mean the large group of people who will run to either one of those two services.

    You sir are an idiot. AOL didn't piggy back off of MS. In fact if MS never existed a company like AOL would still exist. There are a few contributing FACTS to my theory.
    1. Microsoft Did not invent the Internet.
    2. Microsoft Did not invent the concept behind Windows. A windowing system would have existed to make computers easy to use with out them *Cough* Xerox *cough* If you want to argue with me you can't. Im right.
    3. Microsoft sure as hell didn't start the Personal Computer revolution. Apple Did. Microsoft came in late and basically back stabbed their ways to the top.
    Basically.
    Since there is strong evidence to support the existance of the Internet, a Userfriendly Desktop, and the Personal computer in every house thing. AOL or a similiar if not identical company, could easily exist with out the presence of Microsoft.
