AoO isn't explicitly in the Basic Set. I think it's a mistake in the review to say the Basic Set uses AoO. Rather, like the reviewer of the 3.0 D&D Basic Set, I would say that 3.5 D&D Basic Set has rules which D&D players would recognize as being AoO. For example, if you're in combat and move more than one square, your opponent gets a free attack. That's AoO alright, but the Basic Set doesn't call it that.

So, in a way, Basic **does** get rid of AoA, and other rules that get in the way of fast play. (No concentration checks b/c spellcasters **can't** cast spells next to their opponent!) I'm looking forward to the Expert Set!
