re: AOL is not nearly at that stage, and it is difficult for me to imagine that it ever will...

Right now, there are 17 million people that uses AOL as their desk top
for surfing net, or just AOLs own content. I bet you 90% or more use AOL more then MSFT applications and care more about how AOL works then their op sys. It wouldn't take much to replace MSFT op sys. to use just AOL, enter NSCP/AOL, lets not forget SUNW and it's kernel. Not only op sys. for desk tops, but small devices un-know to us now. I bet ya Red Hat becomes part of AOL/NSCP in some form. It's the potential we are buying.

re: brand identity that goes far beyond anything in the industry with the possible exception of Apple

AOL is right up there with them in the USA.
