Windows may not be all that great, and XP may (I haven't
tried it yet so I can't go on anything but other people's
reports) try to get you using their software as much as
possible, but they don't force it on you at least. If I
want to use Netscape with Windows, or Sun's office, or
Dreamweaver I can. This AOL thing though, seems like it
would be purely AOL software. I don't want anything to do
with someone who think they can make me use their software.
If they want me to use it, they should make it the best in
that market for my purposes..
