Would someone explain this ...

AOL sends me a disk whenever a new version comes out and I look to see what extras they have on it to glean.
I seen msn browser or what I thought was msn browser, as an extra; and when I clicked on it a dialog came up saying that IE 6.0 SP1 is the wrong browser for XP pro SP1 the OS I am running.
The dialog wanted to download IE 5.5 as the correct browser for XP.
Why would AOL say that the browser that comes with XP is not the right one?
This I am puzzled about and wonder if anyone has an answer besides , "It's AOL what do you expect"

Having known people out here who have done both networking and programming for AOL?
AOL's programmers are morons who barely know the service or even the OSes they program for.

If I was you, I would dump AOL immediately.
I use cable broadband, but a lot of my friends and family say they like MSN.
Just a suggestion, but I wouldn't trust AOL at all.

AOL came free with my PC and I dumped them long ago.
I like to look in the disks to see if there are any freebies like the answering service I see advertised on the TV.

The browser that comes with XP is the correct browser, period.
Don't allow that AOL disk to monkey around with your browser or you'll run into
a whole lot of headaches!
