  Microsoft, Time Warner AOL join forces to bolster online digital media
Time: 18:04 EST/23:04 GMT | News Source: EETimes | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim

SAN MATEO, Calif. — In a broad agreement announced Thursday (May 29), Microsoft Corp. and Time Warner AOL essentially decided to bury the hatchet on their browser and online services wars of the past to focus on breaking the logjam holding back digital music and movies on the Internet.

Microsoft will pay Time Warner AOL $750 million to settle an outstanding antitrust suit brought by Time Warner's Netscape division. In turn, Microsoft has granted the content provider a license to its Windows Media 9 technology and its next-generation digital rights management software.

While that amount sounds like a lot of $, I'm interested if anyone can tell me just how many days it takes Microsoft to make that kind of money? Or should I be asking how many hours?

Bah, the MSNBC article was much more sensational, by announcing the end of the browser wars!

Zeo01 - MSFT had like $2.7 billion for last quarter in income. So it'd take them about a month to make $750 mil.

AOL on the other hand loses about $1 bil a month, so this quarter they ought to break even. :)

One has to wonder if a Sun deal will happen.

Big victory for msft on this one. AOL did ok too, but you gotta wonder what the settlement would have been if AOL had been in good financial condition.

cto - AOL already dropped Real. That was announced back end of March.

-----------

This company is now Time Warner, with AOL playing a subsidiary role. The AOL merger went bad, the AOL people have been pushed out, the company is going back to it's core.

It is not in the interest of Time Warner to pick a fight with Microsoft for religious reasons. Time Warner also realizes that they are a content services company, not a software company. Time Warner used to own Atari, they sold it in '84 after Commodore had wiped them out of the home computing market. They've been down part of this path before and realize it isn't a strength.

I think you're going to see them largely moving away from trying to write custom software that locks users in. You're going to see AOL turn into a standard ISP, and the Time Warner content delivery service built out upon that, but using standardized tools such as web browsers. So they pull you in for the content, not try to lock you into the service. This is the direction MSN has been going. They want you to be able to get to their content whether or not you use AOL as your ISP as the dial-up service is commoditized and becoming less important compared to broadband.

This is a dramatic shift for the company. I think it's a solid move for both Time Warner and the computer industry. This industry is definately maturing.

What will be curious is what does this mean for Mozilla. My guess is it goes the way of Convergence. i.e. another bad business move, and they'll cut the rope on it.

Great finally the end of Netscape and Mozilla.
I know you OSS advocates will say Mozilla will survive but it has been heavily subsidized by AOL.
I think more than 90% of the Mozilla code work was done by AOL employees and not OSS unpaid slaves.

Betanews was reporting that AOL is also getting access to the Windows source code in an effort to make the AOL browser work better with Windows.

cba, what the heck are you talking about?

No one has ever said that AOL will not fight with Microsoft/MSN anymore, nor has anyone mentioned anything about a monpoly, perhaps you should stay on topic.
