It really looks to me as if Microsoft and AOL are about to get into a major pissing contest over your computer, internet connection, and applications. Even PDA’s, set-top boxes, and other “internet appliances” are going to be subject to this “battle.” With Microsoft’s .Net and AOL’s networks, plus the browser platforms and applications… wow. Get ready folks, the next round in “Microsoft vs. Planet Earth” is about to start.
