Hotmail Beta now open

[xpgeek]

Hotmail has started letting users switch their Hotmail interface to the new Hotmail Beta.

At least some users, randomly selected is what I hear. I was one of them so figured what the heck.

The interface is much leaner now without any eye candy graphics, which makes it load and operate pretty quickly. Theres a new email display pane, so you can view your inbox and folders tree and the content of the email at the same time. And you can now right click on an email and have a special right click context menu with mail options.

Attached some screenshots.

Using Firefox I picked option two there to try it anyway, just to see, and no it doesn't work. Obvious rendering problems, no right click menu, and no emails show up in middle message pane there anyway to click on even tho there is mail in the folder.
