Microsoft could be about to take a stake in Time Warner's internet unit AOL, the New York Times has reported.
Microsoft hopes to merge its internet service with AOL but questions remain over how the venture would be governed.

But the software giant still faces competition for AOL from Google, News Corporation and Yahoo, the paper added.

Investors have been pushing Time Warner to boost its share price performance in recent months and a deal with Microsoft could silence the critics, experts say.

Both Time Warner and Microsoft declined to comment.

This could be both good and bad.

Firstly we see how AOL could become HUGE and Microsoft very rich, and then we see how the internet could be squeezed by the duo and dominated heavily.

I don't like AOL myself, but whats your opinion on this?

I think AOL is hjust stupid....they waste their money on pointless advertising and their interent has training wheels. I would not like to see AOL become huge.
