LindowsOS Will Bundle AOL Client

I may be a bit offtopic here, and I might even be a little arrogant towards the worlds biggest ISP and all their users, but here goes.
Why would anyone want AOL-functionality in their Linux-distro? Anyone capable of using Linux really doesnt fit the average AOL-customer-description. I mean make it more Windows like, call it Lindows, but its Linux, right?
Unnless this is modded Offtopic, I might even make first post :)
Not Buzzword 2.0 compliant. Please speak english.
Lots of boring news lately. Salvaged something interesting from the oeone site:

Speaking of clustering, I finally put together a "Beowulf Cluster". Much easier than I expected, and have gotten 400 MFLOPS using gmandel.
Cluster is composed of
1 dual ppro-200
1 p266
1 k6-2 500
1 p5 200
balancing the load between the systems is touch and go, and has a big impact in the overal cluster performance. not found a way to get mpirun to do it automatically, or if it has the capability.
Anyone know of any interesting apps for mpi/pvr?
Thanks,

Solaris also offers a "failsafe" mode, does that mean all those servers out there are failprone too?
