Yahoo Mail Beta

For such a wonderful Web application, Yahoo Mail Beta could have done just that little bit more and made Opera users too realize what all those rave reviews are about. Instead, they have chosen to leave them in the lurch, and force them to use other browsers if they want to experience the polish of their beta.

Make no mistake - Yahoo Mail Beta really stretches the limits of what a web application can do. I hate to say this, but it even makes Gmail's interface look positively crude. They've almost made it look like one particular Microsoft application that we all know of. Maybe it's not so incidental then that they have shut out users of Opera - one of the rebel browsers that have overwhelmed IE in features and security.
