However, when I tried using an older Firefox browser, as well as KDE Konqueror --both on a Linux LiveCD-- to access it, I wasn't allowed in, but had to use the older non-XMLHttpRequest-based interface. Fair enough, as I know that there is a non-trivial effort to bang up all the Javascript just to make it work right. Kudos to the Yahoo! team :) This is probably what web applications would look like soon. Time to pull out those version control systems and editors to mimic the new Beta for all our enterprise apps... :P It’s very cool and I thoroughly enjoyed using it.
