I downloaded this a few days ago thanks to a reference from Daring Fireball’s Linked List, but I didn’t look at the front page until now. This is probably one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.

.Mac announced a fancy AJAX-based webmail interface “coming soon” this week. This is pretty cool in its own right, but take a look at that screenshot: the column header isn’t Aqua styled. Instead, it (kind of) matches the new iTunes 7 interface. The scrollbars are still Aqua, not iTunes-y, but I assume that’s the result of the fact that it’s running under Safari rather than using custom UI controls. I wonder just how much of the Aqua interface will be overhauled in Leopard. I can’t see Apple being a big fan of inconsistent GUI elements all over.
Preview of the new .Mac webmail interface:
