Great, That's all the world needs now! Maybe they will call it AOLindows! If you think that the AOL software screws up your System now, wait 'till Microsoft get's their hands on it!

So far we don't know what Microsoft is trying to do. Maybe just linking ads sharing ad revenue, or Microsoft can use AOL's contents as partner! At least that's what I think would make sense to do the deal.
