You'd rather Microsoft own it all? That's on the way to happening now. People have a very limited view of what's monopolistic and what isn't. AOL is not.
There seems to be a rampant limited view of reality... why do you care if AOL owns what you do watch on TV?? Microsoft has major investments in NBC. You prefer that? AOL will play what people want to watch, just like the media now. They have to.
What is AOL going to get split into? There's still Viacom, the Fox Group, and many, many other independent media providers that need to be online, and MindSpring/Earthlink, Excite@Home, and all the DSL providers left to join up with.
You forget: the average person is incompetent. They need help. AOL helps them. You may not be incompetent. Hence, you would choose not to use those services. The world wants immature. Face it.
I don't understand the "lack of in depth and technical attention". The client may seem hokey to us, but the technology behind it is the most sophisticated in the world. How's that for lack of attention?
Think, before you speak. Microsoft will control you way more than AOL will.
