According to the AOL Webmasters' Info web site [1], the rendering engine behind AOL on Windows is IE. Here's what the site says specifically: "Beginning with Windows AOL 3.0 (32-bit), the AOL client does not have a browser embedded, but instead uses the Internet Explorer browser the user already has installed within their system. Macintosh and Win16 versions of AOL do have an embedded version of Internet Explorer which is independent of the user's external browsers. "Therefore, for modern AOL Windows clients, browser compatibility is mostly independent of any specific AOL version. The AOL browser will support most of the capabilities that a user's external version of Internet Explorer does. There are various incompatibilities which may arise in the way the specific AOL clients interact with the Browser which can result in unexpected behaviors of the browser itself." I personally have only encounted behavioral discrepancies between AOL and the native IE installed on the system, and never rendering discrepancies.
