Judging from the "powered by Sun" tag, it's almost certainly some kind of StarOffice/OpenOffice repackage. Yep...from an AOL FAQ:

What is AOL Office, powered by Sun?
This is a full suite of productivity tools that can open, edit and save documents in a variety of formats, including Microsoft® Office. AOL Office contains four main applications: AOL Office Writer (for text documents), AOL Office Calc (for spreadsheets), AOL Office Impress (for presentations) and AOL Office Draw graphics).

Hmmm...this PC would be nearly perfect if it didn't have AOL on it. :D

I'm concerned, though, that the AOL PC is going to face some stiff competition from this model:

Well, it's a blustery Sunday afternoon here, and I'm waiting for the rain to curb enough to go running.

The number of times and minutes wasted "on hold" trying to clear up gouging and billing schemes with them (my wife still HAS to use them), I don't know why theY call it "A" OL. I haven't spoken with an American in months. "IOL" would be more fitting.
