AOL's new browser is also based on IE6.

This Is Not A Good Thing.

36 million AOLers out of about one billion internet users are not worth
worrying about.

Might be a problem if they're in your particular target market... :/

Wait a min... that's about 3.6% ... and I think a significant
percentage...

No, we're not going to worry... but there has to be some kind of logic
behind this...

BTW... MS's decision to release this new set top box... indicates that
they think there are going to be _more_ people world wide who want to
connect their televisions up to the internet...

they're not, they're too hard to cater for. medium sized amoebas are as
low as i go, they can at least remember they're own name.

Depends on your "billion" I suppose.

But not all AOLers will actually use the AOL browser -- many will simply
minimise AOL and then surf using whatever browser they like.

And most of the others who continue blindly using the AOL browser are
likely to be less experienced surfers, less trusting of online payment,
less likely to buy stuff online, etc...

Never ever heard of AOL's browser before,
never knew that providers build there own browsers to begin with.
Is that browser only available to AOL users?
