Definitely agree with that one. But I would say that also speaks to the fact that it wasn't the monopoly power that helped, it was the feature set. (Odigo had AOL interop first I think, but it's debatable whether they're large or not. :) )

MSN originally started by offering support for AIM too. In that respect, it would have gained ground, because it did what no-one (of any large commerical company) did before. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
