Well, kind of. AOL makes it's own special "browser", and has many proprietary protocols that are not being ported to other operating systems.

Not to sound condescending, but the typical AOL user has never even heard the word Unix - there is no demand for it because the majority of their clients are fairly new to computing. So why should they spend time and money on it?

In fact, very few ISP's actively "support" other operating systems that Windows, and possibly Mac. It doesn't mean you can't use most ISP's, because they stick to open standards, such as PPP and TCP/IP. AOL, as I understand it, actually goes out of their way to make sure you're running their software to be on their network.
