Jon, You are correct in saying that a free internet service from MSFT will not kill AOL. Not right away.But I do believe in 12 months it will be possible to take a 50% share of the current AOL base if MSFT is committed to that objective. It sounds like they are. Better yet, they have hit the AOL stock hard on a simple Press release. What companies say are often interpreted as more important than what they will actually do in the short run. AOL, IBM, Oracle and Sun need to think hard before they start to throw rocks or learn to aim better.They are toast. John
