i would, except for a few things...

- you really can't use it without signing up to AOL, so it seems 
kinda pointless...

- i already have been treated as tech support for a lot of these 
browsers (which i am not), and i don't have time to refer people to 
AOL...

- personally, i don't even want to endorse AOL, but that's not a 
factor here...

- we already know the rendering engines for each version, so it 
might be easier to grab the appropriate IE anyway...

- you can't truly get the AOL experience without using their 
proxies... so the browser is only part of it... you need to test the IP 
re-allocations, the image compressions, etc...
