"A Step in the right direction"
Pros: Convenience
Cons: Pricing and or Availability
Summary: America Online's software, is clearly not for everyone, and those that don't like it at all and never have, are not going to start liking it anytime soon, unless they are reviewing the software and being paid to give a fair opinion. AOL deserves the 8 it receives from CNET, It's not good when Microsoft's MSN gets lower performance ratings from CNET on MSN. I think MSN is CNET's editors choice because MSN, no matter what change it goes through, still reflects a rather corporate personality, while AOL is more individual America Online is for the person who wants convenience online, for techno nerds AOL is not going to win any points. The efforts to streamline the software are paying off, and America Online is still a windows application for most, so because of that, don't expect it to be perfect. I am a an intermediate computer user, and an AOL subscriber, but don't be fooled, just because i'm a member doesn't mean that I am computer illiterate. People chose to use AOL, they are not forced.
