Hi DS, What do you think of MSFT's quick gains in instant messaging. 1.3 million users in about a month compared to the existing 80million for AOL. I wonder if all the 80 million really use AIM.

Microsoft's great public relations in this area should increase their market share to a point where it is significant in comparison. I wonder what 2 more months would do. My guess is that MSFT should crack 10million very soon.
They get so much publicity for being the "good cop". What a great PR move on the part of Bill Gates and company. Even if AOL successfully blocks MSFT, it will do wonders for MSFT's image (not to mention the free publicity).
