Caroline is rubbing her hands together with the thrill of it all. In the midst of a year that has seen too many hospital visits...
Perhaps, if things went really well, Microsoft might decide to pull the plug on MSN, its rival online service. The trade-off: Microsoft could provide all the software that people use on AOL, everything from its Passport program for storing credit-card info to its Media Player, which--let's just speculate here--could be the only one licensed to play Warner Bros. movies and Warner Music on demand...
