Out of the box, it's a content management system. But it is a
customizable and extensible content management system (and many third-
party extensions are available for free download), so you can build an
e-commerce site, an electronic publication, a corporate intranet, or a
special-interest information resource based on it.

In the Web root.

You may want to use it if you want to build a portal-type application,
but don't want to reinvent the basics (entering and rendering content,
registering users, etc.)

Joomla doesn't play well with AOL browsers.

Bad idea. Joomla is intended to provide the core for a site. Any
functionality not provided by Joomla should be developed either as a
Joomla extension or as a bridge to another application.
