AOL said it asked Microsoft to join the group. The companies have been battling over how to provide instant messaging services since last week, when Microsoft introduced MSN Messenger, a program that lets users link with AOL's service. They haven't discussed their differences on messaging, said AOL spokeswoman Ann Brackbill." news.com Can't see why MSFT doesn't join (hehehe) Jim K.
