NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Time Warner Inc. may be looking into the possibility of selling its AOL unit to Microsoft, according to a published report Friday.

The New York Post, citing people familiar with the situation, said Time Warner executives have held talks in recent months with Microsoft about a potential sale of AOL.

i dont think you guys really understand whats going on. AOL is the worlds biggest ISP and its been one of the few companys to consistantly beat micosoft in its field. As craptacular as AOL is without it internet access is just one more thing for micosoft to monopolize.
