Can Microsoft land AOL?

I found this on the Internet. Not a front page news for us but it is interesting information to read.

AOL is crap, microsoft could maybe bring some thing to it


Also, microsoft is not to big, they have taken companies that are shaky and made them into awesome products (like Giant Software comes to mind right now)

AOL is crap and going down hill now that people switch to cheap high speed solutions, if MS does take AOL, for AOL lovers it would probably be good as it would keep the service around longer....

Microsoft is no slouch when it comes to deciding how to best incorporate other companies into itself.

Whenever microsoft buys something, they never seem to ruin it, i would not worry too much, if anything they will improve the services....
