How many other ISPs intend to follow AOL's practice and use their
connection support software to fix the defaults on their customer's
Windows computers?

        I've already seen an interesting side effect from a disabled messenger service...  With one of those new 
low-price
Intel hardware modems in a P4 running XP, the system will not shutdown properly after a dial-up session with messenger
disabled...  Just an FYI in case confused AOLers start swamping your helpdesks...  :-)
