I don't think that it's fair to compare the AOL of old (Before May 2009) to the current company. There have been a lot of changes happening there in the last year. That being said I will be paying attention to see what happens and I'll be interested to see how AOL handles some of the issues that will inevitably come up. As far as the making an exit knowing that your company will likely die, I don't think that applies in this case, MA and staff will still be around, and it seems like the deal is structured so that in general not much will change. Its the marginal issues that I would be more worried about.
