SpongeBrain, the ease of use of MS has made it widely acceptable to computer users. This is because 80% of the computer users are computer literate but not computer savvy. Bill Gates realized this early on when Apple was on its downward slide. So he picked up where Apple left off. So granted Windows is a piece of junk. Nobody wants to use it in mission-critical applications (missile guidance, real-time computing etc.) But an investor does not consider this. An investor is not an engineer.

So the same 80% who have embraced a piece of junk (MS Windows) because of its "ease of use" are the ones that will embrace AOL, which according to you is a piece of junk. THE FACTS OF INVESTING.
