  1. Comment - AOL Marshals Troops Against MS XP Offensive

    (May 7, 2001 - 10:44 AM)

    What is AOL Time Warner's core business? I don't recall application - much less OS - development being one of them. But what about the Netscape Browser? It's taken them an inordinate amount of time to release a decent non-beta of the browser (solid 2 years). Even the anti-Microsoft browser consortium begged Netscape to pull 4.5 because it was a step back from W3C standards. AOL will even tell you they didn't have an accurate picture of what they had signed up for. A deal will be struck - end of story. Which could be for the better because I still run into people who believe AOL is the entire Internet.

    One note - I agree with the post on WMA (Spoony?) -- I could live without it. I'm a Winamp fool and I thought their Shoutcast network was genius.
