AOL is doing something and their latest play with GTW is very interesting. As near as I can figure, they will be selling a very thin client that only connects to the internet. DIRT CHEAP. It will have no Intel processor and no MSFT OS. The user is connected to the internet only (I assume to AOL as a default) using the AOL (Netscape) browser. It should be very popular. I am just speculating but it seems that the next natural step is to offer use of office programs on line (word processing and spreadsheets). Storage could be offered too at no extra charge to AOL members. In other words, Oracle's idea come to life. The idea is to enhance the offering of AOL's site and capture users for life. Note that IE will probably not work very well since MSFT OS is not on board.
