Hi,
Im not working at either AOL and Netscape but I do have comments !
I also thinks it strange Netscape not want to integrate ICQ with their
browser. For most us that dont live in US (yeah its true... there are
other countries) do use more ICQ than AOL.
And it would be greate to combine Netscape 6 also with ICQ.
BUT!
Forcing people downloading a browser for using ICQ or AOL is not a good
thing. The members would quikly go up... true... for a while (until
people have to get the next version and download 30 mb:s again for just
the little messenger).
If I want a browser... I will get the browser... If I want a messenger
and I sure wants to be free to choose what messenger I will do so.
