[AOL is changing server-side code.]

Yes, you're probably right. That means, however, that AOL is bit by bit giving MSFT the rules for exactly reproducing the AOL clients. It won't be long before AOL runs out of server side hacks.

I'm really quite shocked AOL is doing this. Do their customers view this deliberate loss of connectivity as to their benefit? Now would be a great time for MSN to offer a free 3 months of Internet access to converting AOL customers.

Honestly, I'd pretty much written off MSN as a serious AOL competitor, but maybe I jumped the gun. They're certainly the ones on the right track here.
