The game AOL is playing is similar to what MSFT has been playing -- control or tremendous influence over what we see when we "connect" online.
Yes, I agree. However, if this is the only thing they obtained, I am not sure they would have purchased Netscape instead of working a strategic partnership with them along the lines of their recent agreement with Sun and Dell. I think a major reason for the Netscape move is to penetrate the business market, which is a daytime market, complementary to the evening consumer market. After all, what good is that excess modem and server capacity between 8 and 5?
