America Online Inc. and Microsoft Corp. have reached a tentative agreement under which the AOL 6.0 client will be bundled into Windows XP, sources close to both companies said late Thursday.
The sources said the agreement stipulated that AOL was currently required to deliver AOL 6.0 for Windows XP, known as the Steppenwolf client, by mid-July. As such, it was sending a team of developers and other staff to the Redmond campus for several weeks to work on integration issues around the bundling, followed by another visit to test application compatibility.
