I'd like to repost this for further discussion Here's what I mean. First remember that AOL is the one being attacked here, and that AOL CTO Marc Andreessen has both a good technical mind and a hot temper. If MSN Messenger ruins AOL's $180+ million investment in Mirabilis, why shouldn't AOL nuke Microsoft's $400 million investment in Hotmail? MSN Messenger requires users to have a Hotmail account. AOL could easily create a service I'll call AOL AnyMail, which would be rather like the old Claris eMailer -- a client for multiple e-mail systems. AOL AnyMail could be used to consolidate in one place all those free e-mail accounts we have all picked up over the last couple years. Through AOL AnyMail you could read your Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Excite Mail, Whatever Mail, even your corporate e-mail. And though AOL AnyMail's ability to remember which mail came from which service, you could answer back through those services. It's a heck of an idea that only requires gathering user names and passwords for those services, which is exactly the thing Microsoft is saying is okay. Redmond can hardly complain. pbs.org
