AOL was not the first to provide an instant messaging program, but in the United States at least, they have been by far the most popular. While challenger MSN (now known as Windows Live Messenger) has been steadily closing the gap, AIM is still the instant messenger program to beat. Now, AOL has released a major new upgrade to the application. Version 6.0 comes with a host of new features that AOL hopes will keep them ahead in the IM game.
