AOL Suite 0.3 Beta Refresh  beta

Publisher's Description:

AOL Suite is made up of independent, integrated applications that can be used individually or work seamlessly together when used as a suite. With the AOL Suite Beta, AOL members will have instant access to different applications without having to run all of the AOL software at the same time. Currently, the AOL Suite Beta includes AOL Explorer, AOL Mail, and AIM Triton. Additional applications and features will be added to the Suite as the beta test progresses.

The applications within the suite are integrated, so they can work together seamlessly, but they also work independently so you can spend your time online more conveniently. For example, in the AOL Suite beta, a feature called QuickNote which allows you to create your message and then chose which AOL application to use to send it. Also, in a suite, capabilities from one application can be invoked from other applications where appropriate.

Latest Changes:

• Includes further stability improvements specifically related to remedying possible lockups or long UI hangs in the AOL Suite applications

AOL Suite 1.0 is a must get :) ------------------------------ I take the first rating back. Great idea at first, but uses a whole lot of memory. Use OpenRide instead :)

I do agree. They have turned the leaf and created some high quality softwares, no doubt. HOWEVER, the new engine they are using as the code base for all their new softwares is quite horrible in my opinion, the worst of all being AIM Triton. Everything is slow and uses a lot of RAM. I wish start fresh again. I know its asking a lot. But the thing holding me back from using these softwares full time is that they just run so slow in comparison to their counterparts (AIM 5.9/GAIM/Trillian runs faster than Triton, Opera/FireFox/IE runs faster than AOL Explorer, etc.)

AOL Suite, is truly the next generation of AOL. I believe that many reviewers are going to scoff at this beta, 1, because it's a beta that is less than perfect. But many people have yet to realize what a task AOL is trying to do, AOL software is a client based product. AOL Suite is a set of applications that relies on your sole connection to the internet and allows the user to control which application he or she wants to use at will. It's not easy for AOL an internet content provider to go from a client base, to an HTML suite. This project has been in the making for a long long time. And much time is being devoted to it. Instead of passing judgement on the project, I would be one of the people testing it. Be honest with the beta team and tell them what's wrong with the suite. They need testers. It's free , what have you got to lose. If AOL suite beta , is going to be any better. quit bellyaching about what doesn't work, and head to beta central at AOL and test the software, and tell the technicians at beta about the bugs. I would only complain , after I've tested the software, reported the bugs, and done what I could do as a beta person to see that AOL knows my problem. If you can't do that, then your complaining about what doesn't work has no weight. Some people also fail to update their betas, and so if a problem gets fixed they don't realize it has been fixed because their beta build is older than the current build for testing. Look at beta central and update your betas. You can't help the process of testing if you don't keep your software up to date. AOL suite is very nice. It has the potential to be the replacement for the AOL client software, and with diligent testers and feedback about problems, it will be not a bad alternative for those who want control over their AOL.

Actualy the infromation is incorrect, AOL does defently Install spyware depending on what software you use, but this suite Has no spyware whatsoever, yet anyways..... The aol suite in my opinion is bloated. Very slow, and no AOL browser does not make IE more secure, it runs of IE, so all the issues IE has AOL has! try geting your facts right! Useing this suite, is mainly personal preffrence you either like it or you don't, this applies with all software.
