Google's beta e-mail kicks Y Mails backside (free version anyway), Google groups need more features, but they work okay for what they offer. Agreed Yahoo has the best stuff so far, but they keep screwing it up, taking away functionality and screwing up rollouts like this one. Not surprising they had to do some layoffs. I just hope the genius who botched the rollout went too. Everyone else I feel bad for. Never seen an MS product I liked (not that worked well anyway–hotmail, groups, etc.–yuck).
