>There's no money in offering a direct competitor to Windows

Aol must compete with MS on every level to survive this decade. MS is offering a direct competitor to AOL in MSN. AOL is losing market share to MSN. Who is to say that windows 2005 won't REQUIRE you to be an MSN subscriber?

AOL views this as a fight for their life.
