AOL Drops MSIE for Netscape in Mac OS X Beta

Posted by pudge on from the took-em-long-enough dept.

Kitzilla writes "AOL introduces an 'Aquafied' client for Max OS X, and pulls the plug on Internet Explorer. It's AOL for Mac, Version 2: now with a tasty Gecko filling." news.com has a story. I wonder if Mac OS X will ever ship with a Netscape/Mozilla browser. I wonder if Mozilla will be shipped with Windows clients in the future. I wonder if this will pave the way to a a full-fledged Linux version of AOL. I wonder if this will ignite another AOL/MS war. I wonder how 24 will end this Tuesday.

    "I wonder how 24 will end this Tuesday."

    This seems to be the most controversial comment so will respond to it: right before the last commercial.

    Everything else seems fairly tame in the remarks. Does anyone find anything unremarkable about AOL/Time Warner's actions?

    That's a strange comment about 24. Can anybody tell me what that show is about? How is it related to Mozilla? I rarely watch TV.
