Do you have any idea what AOL's share is in this business? I dont... do you? In particular Im interested in the nscp numbers. I dont think the Aol subscriber numbers and nscp users necessarily overlap, well obviously they dont in the business sector, where I think nscp is still dominant? Nscp is the most common browser for the companies around here - a disclaimer is I live in Ca! Michelle

You are right , the big gets bigger, and that is the rule of the game. Since Microsoft did not play the e-commerce game, so it is not a threat to AOL. However, once it jumps into this business in full steam, then you will see . The rule is big get bigger, and company with a brand name always get the business. I think you realize that the PC sold by DELL, CPQ not necessary better than those sold by Pa and Ma shops built in the gurage. The difference is CPQ, DELL,...etc had a brand name, and people trust, and would like to pay higher price to buy from these big ones.
