   Review - AOL Suite

   Refresh 3 (Feb 8, 2006)

   AOL Suite, is truly the next generation of AOL. I believe that many reviewers are going to scoff at this beta, 1, because it's a beta that is less than perfect. But many people have yet to realize what a task AOL is trying to do, AOL software is a client based product. AOL Suite is a set of applications that relies on your sole connection to the internet and allows the user to control which application he or she wants to use at will. It's not easy for AOL an internet content provider to go from a client base, to an HTML suite. This project has been in the making for a long long time. And much time is being devoted to it. Instead of passing judgement on the project, I would be one of the people testing it. Be honest with the beta team and tell them what's wrong with the suite. They need testers. It's free , what have you got to lose.
   
   If AOL suite beta , is going to be any better. quit bellyaching about what doesn't work, and head to beta central at AOL and test the software, and tell the technicians at beta about the bugs. I would only complain , after I've tested the software, reported the bugs, and done what I could do as a beta person to see that AOL knows my problem. If you can't do that, then your complaining about what doesn't work has no weight.
   
   Some people also fail to update their betas, and so if a problem gets fixed they don't realize it has been fixed because their beta build is older than the current build for testing. Look at beta central and update your betas. You can't help the process of testing if you don't keep your software up to date.
   
   AOL suite is very nice. It has the potential to be the replacement for the AOL client software, and with diligent testers and feedback about problems, it will be not a bad alternative for those who want control over their AOL.

   Funny, you laugh at the very company that helped introduce Firefox to the masses, with Time Warner's Netscape connections, Firefox may not have been as successful. Of course, no one cares about that, It's always the flagship product, but I bet a few of you, use Mapquest, and if you don't that matters not, Yahoo could get bought up by TimeWarner, and merge with AOL, what about that. lol. You guys are nuts
