At some point in time Microsoft will have to add the same extras like IP telephony to their instant messenger. I recall Hojo saying that their deal with Netscape/aol was not restrictive. I.E. they could do a deal with MS.(I trust Hawaii can find the article quote quicker than I)
Every time a new feature is added on a portal for example, everyone else imitates it to keep up. When will MS add IP telephony and who would it be?

"Adding additional services
like IP telephony to AOL's instant messengers and
integrating ICQ with an online radio service like
Spinner.com would appear to be right around the
corner. In other words, one doesn't have to stretch
the imagination that far to envision a day when
AOL-controlled applications like Netscape and ICQ
could become direct rivals to the Windows OS."
