But the beauty of GMail is obviously that given its 'beta-ness', we still come back to it. To me, GMail is leading the email revolution. Hotmail is just following. Only in the last year or two did Hotmail utilize AJAX...and that is kind of sad. Until Hotmail realizes that banner ads are pointless, I don't see myself switching to Microsoft anytime soon. haha, it’s true, using GMail makes me feel like an unappreciated prototype evaluator in a CSC454 course.

We all know what the logical choice should be. But really with GMail still riding the "safe" beta wagon, it still is somewhat annoying. How long has it been now? Also, Google News was in beta for even longer and look at it. It isn't anything revolutionary and I don't see GMail getting any bigger/better other than the support with the chat. I hear they were planning on integrating a webcam session with GTalk. Which only means it will be in beta for... like ever. I'm tired of being a "free" tester. Simple, yes.
