Description
AOL Desktop
AOL Desktop is a suite powered by AOL that facilitates access to web browsing, emailing, and IM conversations, all from the same interface. The initiative is not bad, yet neither unique. The upsides of AOL Desktop compared to the old suite are a more modern appearance, better performance, and a different approach in functionality.
Key Features:
- Integrates an instant messaging client, an email component, and a web browser
- Browser functions independently of AOL credentials
- Wide array of built-in links to various categories
- Download manager to track progress of downloads
- Parental control module for protection
Functionality:
Your inbox can be managed with dedicated utilities, allowing you to read, write, block emails, and keep tabs on your address book. Communicate with friends and family using the instant messenger for real-time messaging with a collection of emoticons. However, despite an extensive feature set, the application's behavior and overcrowded browser components were disappointing.
