  1. Review - AOL Desktop for Windows

    Beta 1 (Jul 28, 2006)

    I wanted to hate it - but I dont. If you like having quick access to the things you do most online then its a very cool concept and truly something new.

    It is a beta so its not without its faults but so far I am enjoying it. Yeah I know - hard to believe AOL does something cool and different that works , but I think they did.

  2. Comment - Will 'Streamliner' Usher In a Free AOL?

    Beta 1 (Jul 28, 2006 - 10:35 AM)

    So I expected crap from AOL and Streamliner didnt deliver. If you like having the "big 4" of Email, IM, Broswer, and media center available and open all the time - then you'll like it.

    The first time I ran it, it was slow but after the first installation things picked up and I can now see its reason for being. I found myself using the little resizing thingy a lot and its kinda cool. The browser works as any browser should and when its maximized I cant really tell the difference between it and ie. Mail is super fast once loaded - sometimes the pane managment was , well, a pain. Overall I like it so far. It aint crap.
