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.

Saying the program is a bunch of baloney doesn't say anything.

Reverb says: Version: 2.0.67.1 Beta 9 AOL refuses to die as long as they still have a revenue stream from all the adware noobs are willing to tolerate for all the pretty eye candy. AIM is a prime example. AOL 9.0 still refuses to uninstall completely from a friend's PC. I reiterate: AOL has always been spam central and is known for its deceptive business practices: ---------------------------------------------- How many products do you know of that "uninstall completely"? And a "friend's PC"? Give me a break. How's about your PC? Spam central? You'll get spam from other ISP's too. Set your filters up properly, don't go to suspicious sites and you'll get little or no Spam. Deceptive business practices? Yep, in the past, no doubt about that. Nowadays though and for a few years now, no. I'm betting that like many who slam AOL, like you for instance, you haven't even tried the AOL products you talk about.
