    You don't need to make fun of AOL, they do it to themselves...

    Plus AOL users take it personally and I don't want a crazed redneck chasing me with a shotgun.

    If they use IE, they get an icon on every OEM windows install. that's a LOT of new customers.

    Is it REALLY a lot of new customers these days? What with all those free coasters and all, I really don't think the desktop icon means that much. There must be something else.

    Like browser mods and and the fact that as we all know, (at least if you know ANYTHING about Windows API and Windows app development), all things in Windows including the browser and the file navigator, they are all "windows". Even Outlook is a "window". If AOL wants to integrate into Windows (which 99% or more of ALL AOL customers use) seamlessly, they HAVE to use IE.
