In a battle of attrition, MSFT will barely be scathed, while AOL will be fatally wounded. Guess this is why Fidelity dumped AOL and purchased MSFT several months ago. In a battle where financial resources are the driving factor, MSFT vs AOL is no contest. Smart strategy for MSFT- if you can't win on the chessboard, simply create a whole new came, a whole new dimension. MSFT has rewritten the rules to play a war they can win- the war of financial attrition. Interestingly, this will have very little effect on MSFT's bottom line, while AOL's bottom line will be ravaged.
