The big news in the tech world today was the $750 million settlement Microsoft agreed to pay AOL in their browser lawsuit. But one of the details of the agreement states that Microsoft and AOL will begin to explore ways to get MSN Messenger and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) to work together.

Do you care? :confused:

About time for Microsoft and America Online to work together on getting their instant messaging programs to work in one client. This probably won’t happen in the near future.

I’m not holding my breath, but we know that it is possible (in spite of AOL’s past objections).

I think it will happen soon, not really soon but like hmm…. in 2010. It would be good if that happens!
