You have to admit, this could have turned out to be some pretty fascinating stuff. Imagine more options made available from the dual-mode cordless phone market. I mean, up until recently, it has been rather limiting for the consumer. Yes, this could have been great…

Unfortunately, this involves Yahoo Messenger. You know, the application that chooses to install any darned thing it pleases REGARDLESS of the opt out options you choose during a custom installation. While the Yahoo portal is a great resource that I enjoy, their messenger is  not allowed on any of my family’s PCs based on their installation results.

In the end, it’s too bad. I was pretty excited and would have likley watched this closer had  Linksys opted to work with Skype or Google. But Yahoo? Thanks, but I will pass I think.
