Google Begins "Gmail 2.0" Rollout
Stony Stevenson writes "Google on Tuesday confirmed it is giving Gmail a new look. This blog post has screenshots of a new Gmail interface that has been made available to a limited number of users. They are calling it "Gmail 2.0" even if Google isn't. Google confirmed the update is underway at its new San Francisco office, just prior to a briefing on an unrelated upcoming Google announcement. A Google spokesperson said that the new look has been made available to about one percent of all Gmail users and is being rolled out the rest on an ongoing basis."
What is a beta of a beta?
A Microsoft beta
If i had one dollar for every brain you dont have, i would have $1.
Can't you just buy one?
No, a Microsoft 1.0 is Alpha, MS SP1 is Beta and MS SP2 is the 1.0 version. When the product is good enough it's discontinued and the whole cycle starts again.
OK - but I need more explanation. How about an analogy involving cars.

Still looks "bargain basement." They need to get a more professional look to it like the new "Live" Hotmail has because at the moment, it looks like something your mom would knock up as her first webpage.

I'm afraid google use the term 'beta' correctly. They just have higher standards than you.
There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.
Because it's true.
ad logicam Claiming a proposition is false because it was presented as the conclusion of a fallacious argument.
It compiles! Quick ship the release candidate :D
Wow... 110% you say? that explains the email from 'unbornfetus33421@gmail.com' I keep getting.
Maybe in the same way Microsoft managed to forget 1902 versions between Windows 98 and 2000?
They're using the Microsoft numbering system. It's not out of beta until version 3.0 or 4.0. (Some of us could argue it never leaves beta...)
Dear Spokehedz,
GET ME OUT OF HEEEERE!!!!!!!

I'd mod that +10 hilarious if I had any idea how to "usefully" use my mod points I keep seeing that I have that I keep seeing that I'll lose.
