Not an AOL moment, but they do seem to having an OS 9 moment: Releasing stuff just to slap a larger number on the box.

Ironically I was playing around with BasiliskII last night and was reminded how janky and tasteless the OS got before making the break to Aqua.

But now there is no “war path” Steve Jobs to come in and basically lay down their life fixing the product line up.

What is an "AOL Moment"? Some kind of point of complete failure?

I searched & asked ai but I couldn't find the context.

Couldn't evolve the business from small "captive portal + email + chat rooms" to big Internet with distributed information sources.
