Citing two unnamed sources familiar with the matter, the Post said the talks concern Microsoft acquiring an AOL stake and then combining it with Microsoft's Web unit MSN.

Actually it means that Microsoft and Time Warner will own AOL's assets jointly. Who knows what it will mean for Winamp, or any other AOL product. If Nullsoft actually makes any money for AOL, you shouldn't expect Microsoft's tendrils to change that. If it doesn't, maybe it will be put out of its misery. Who cares, really?

From what I understand, Winamp has been on life support for a long time now. Most of the original winamp folks really got screwed by AOL and no longer work at nullsoft.
AFAIK theres not much development happening with Winamp lately and there likely wont be any.
Lately I went searching for a better player and found Foobar2k, which fits my bill just fine. Its not sexy but its got a lot of features.

Yes, but what about Winamp ?
That also means that the Netscape trademark will belongs to MS.
