Good that we bring more revenue to Ubuntu and its development. Now that we are partnering/negotiated with Yahoo! , we should ask them to remove the warning of Unsupported OS for users trying to connect to Yahoo!Mail. Users are redirected to > http://in.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/system_requirements?os=unsupported This happens *every* time one tries to login.[attaching screenshot] If we are considering moving Ubuntu to Yahoo! search as default. Atleast their sites could be tested in Ubuntu OS. Or are we still an OS that isnt supported by Yahoo! ;) Is an awkward moment when we introduce new users to Ubuntu and we get such warnings. BTW ,the Yahoo!Mail does work well if the user selects Continue anyway. :) -- Cheers, Vish
