Just a partial subreply on this.  Most of Sean's points are valid, but one
might be a bit off :).  See below for it... heh.

Actually, I recall 95 and 98 retail shipping with AOL (and possibly MSN ?
been years, can't recall) coming installed even if you de-select them from
advanced configuration stuff during the install.  It's possible this is a
Vista bundling issue and not an OEM one.

Not ever installed retail Vista from scratch, I could very well be speaking
out of my arse, but there is a good possibility that Vista is indeed bundled
with AOL.
