AOL is going to mess this up (Score 1)

AOL is going to mess this up like the Netscape Browser and iPlanet (acquired when they bought Netscape). Why? Because they are a media and consumer company and do not undertsand Enterprise sales, marketing and support. For example look at the glaring holes in their AIM for Enterprise product:

- No LDAP Support - No Encryption support; - No PKI or X.509 support; - No support for companies with multiple locations (It does not support a distributed Server to Server architecture) - No Interoperability with other IMs; - No IETF standards support such as SIP/SIMPLE; - NO SDK to integrate IM with other applications; . - No track record for supporting enterprise customers;

Plus: How are they going to sell this sucker. They have no Enterprise sales force. I do not see a CIO making a decison based on AOL CD Coaster in the mail.
