Comments on: AIM update puts price on new buddies

A test version of AOL's revamped instant messaging software adds a bunch of new icons--but they'll come at a cost once it launches.

Too little too late

Poor AOL. You should have thought of all this BEFORE you integrated yourself into cell phones and pocket pc's.

The tides of change

Well, it looks as though a once great peice of software that was 100% free is succumbing to the greed of money. The update now adds yet another feature that must be paid for. I expect that in some time shortcomming, AIM will no longer be free at all. Sad...

Not happening

AOL is only making it's AIM worse. If they new how to design software properly, we wouldn't need programs like Deadaim, Otsego, and Aimutation.
