As I said, there are a lot of potential scenarios one could embrace. I would ask why AOL would keep MSIE IF they are purchasing Netscape?
The federal prosecutor mentioned a few days before the deal that if AOL didn't switch to Netscape and kept IE, than that is more than enough to prove that Microsoft has a monopoly in the browser market. I think AOL wants to keep IE not for its technical merits but to keep the antitrust case alive, and Case had trumpeted the decision as wanting to keep IE so AOL could stay on the desktop in return. Undoubtedly, Microsoft will call the whole issue into account.
