    WOW! AOL big props!

    You have to use it to fully understand. AOL is the best All in One client! Congrats AOL on the AOL Desktop for Windows :) Mac's version is great as well. The Windows version to me now is way better and more customizable.

    As an all in one option it's not bad for AOL users to step out of the usual AOL program format.
    The only thing that would make it better for the AOL users is to import favorites from an AOL PFC file. The online favorites never totally load because I have over a thousand plus. I'm a genealogist & I need all my favorites available to me & The AOL desktop doesn't meet my needs for using my favorites. I've told them this in AOL beta feedback & got an odd answer from one of the team as to why import from a PFC even after I stated my need for it. After trying to import my AOL favorites 5 times it stopped giving me the unable to import message & did it. Everything else about the program is fine (for aol users on broadband it's fine)... Oh, one more thing, the fonts in email are limited even though I have a ton of fonts on my system.

    Openride was a horror. Uninstalled that beast immediately. Desktop is definately better on the systems resources. I like having my Gmail account in there as well. If I could only read my AOL mail in the damn thing. Disappointed by AOL once again. If I could get an answer on how to fix that problem I would use it. I'll stick to Gmail for now.

    I HAVE tried this and my results are confidently conclusive.

    The report says:

    It's a good thing you don't work in R&D or are being asked to write an objective report on this software. Saying the program is a bunch of baloney doesn't say anything.
