Marvin, It is AOL's time. The strategy is to exploit ICQ and AIM like how MSFT exploited their windows start up screen to milk and kill competitors. Not only they want free ride, as they often do with technologies and intellect of others, but also a hugh customer base. Their aim is eventually steal the customer email addresses, like they openly steal technology from others, and then claim that they are market leader. Better AOL prepare for these things if they want to dominate. I fully agree with AOL's move to block MSFT's instant messenger. It is shame on them. -Nat
