Yes, perhaps you don't see it now, but I'm sure there will be a noticeable prescence in the future.
Does AOL not endorse WinAmp as one of the downloads when you try to install Netscape?
Yes, I believe there will be a AOL client. AOL wants to pull the same bundling tactics Microsoft has been doing for years.
By buying all these diff. apps., they get a full featured OS without having to develop their own and convince people to switch over to it. They have something that people are already familiar with and love.
And personally, I don't mind if one distribution goes down. It will increase awareness of Linux and get software companies to start developing for it, wich can easily be used on another ditribution (ie. Mandrake).
