First, AOL has no room to talk when it comes to anti-trust and unfair practices. After working for a various non-AOL isps I cannot count how many times installing or uninstalling their software completely TRASHES DUN(or dial-up-networking).
Second, netscape after 4.5x and on has been horrible on windows based OS's. I don't blame microsoft for not including Netscape in windows. Why would they want to add another buggy peice of software to windows, especially when they have not control over fixing the bugs. And netscape also falls into the "pot calling the kettle black scenario", since on many installations of netscape they actually modify with their worthless features.
Imho, AOL needs to continue peddling to the grandmas, peck-and-seekers, and chat addicts, and keep away from battles they can't win and software they would do nothing but ruin(RED HAT).
