America Online Inc. and Microsoft Corp. are gearing up for launches of their latest Internet software, and as with prior releases will try to match and outdo each other with new features—this time with an eye on customization.
While Microsoft, of Redmond, Wash., has been forthcoming with many of the new features due in MSN 8, AOL has tried to keep things quiet until the software is formally launched. However, sources say there's quite a number of similarities between the two offerings.
