Dueling 8.0's: America Online vs. Microsoft | |
|
||
| Time: 09:34 EST/14:34 GMT | News Source: New York Times | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
So let's see who has the most star power — Alanis Morissette or Bill Gates. Next week in Manhattan, on Wednesday afternoon, Ms. Morissette is among those who will help Stephen M. Case, chairman of AOL Time Warner, celebrate the rollout of version 8.0 of America Online's software with a show at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center. (Ms. Morissette, not coincidentally, is a pop artist for AOL's corporate cousin, Warner Music.) The audience will include about 2,000 AOL subscribers, some of whom will be asked to speak about why they still love the service's online community. Microsoft, meanwhile, plans to celebrate the latest edition of its MSN Internet service, also called version 8.0, in Central Park, near Columbus Circle, on the afternoon of Oct. 24. The headliner for that event will be a perennial star of the Forbes 400 pop charts: Mr. Gates, Microsoft's chairman. The company declines to reveal other details yet, but hints that there will be other big-name entertainment on hand. | ||
