MIX08: AOL Previews AOL Mail In Silverlight

Today at MIX08, AOL previewed the latest version of AOL Mail which is enhanced with Silverlight technology. The preview also showed the usage of a "skin" on the AOL Mail client — check it out below. The company claims that this new version will offer a rich web experience in a desktop portable client.

Will this new AOL Mail version replace the mail inside of the full AOL client software? I sure hope so as the Web version seems sleeker and easier to use than the desktop client version.
