No if you have aol internet like me its like its own browser.
Its a shell on the Internet Explorer Engine. They tried to switch to the Netscape engine at one point but Microsoft was going to charge them $750 million to have AOL icons on the desktop with all new versions of Windows so they abandoned that plan. So AOL couldn't use their own property and eventually laid off all the developers and spun it off to Mozilla. (long story short)
Should have been multiple choice. While IE7 is my primary browser, I use Firefox, Opera, Safari 3 and Konqueror for testing purposes. None of my computers have IE6 anymore.
