All my friends that use Windows never see the new Yahoo page that I now almost always see when visiting yahoo.com:

On the times I see the new page, I get redirected to http://m.www.yahoo.com/. This link doesn't seem to work at the times I don't get redirected.
I'm curious. How many of you with Linux see it (or do not see it), and are there any of you still running Windows that see it?

EDIT: I've finally found some info (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/09/17/yahoos-all-new-home-page-a-mix-of-old-and-new/) on it. It doesn't say anything about testing only Linux users, but I'm thinking they are testing it more on us. At least that has been my experience.

Running Ubuntu and yahoo.com doesn't look like yours.

Are you perhaps logging on yahoo and customize the page in "My Yahoo!" ?

No, it shows it even when I'm not logged in. Could you try the link I get redirected to (http://m.www.yahoo.com/) and see if it works?

EDIT: Strangely, I'm getting the old one at the moment even when going to http://m.www.yahoo.com/.

I don't see it either. Try cleaing your history; it might be cookie-related.

I did get the new page few days back. I guess they were testing the new look.

So far it is not a cookie issue.
