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. :)
