why is Yahoo Mail forcing its users to "upgrade" their mail client?

i still use Yahoo!Mail Classic. not that they haven't switched me to the NEW one (they've done it several times, actually), but i've always "switched back".

i work as "tech support" for about 100 different people, and most of them (the ones who use Yahoo! Mail) STILL prefer Classic. why do they insist on forcing us to use the new mail, when we don't WANT it?!? most people are still running Windows XP (i know i am), because it works just fine for most things, and why "fix" what isn't broke? XP machines are typically older [except the ones i work on myself :) ], so they run slower with the new Y! Mail.

when will Yahoo! listen to its users, and stop FORCING us to upgrade to the New Y!Mail, which only makes us want to switch back more?!?

    dan is right. they could totally stop offering Mail altogether, and people like me would STILL use Yahoo! Answers anyways!

    it's sad, but free is free...

    They won't. Huge companies like Yahoo! always think theyre smarter than everyone else, they don't listen to common sense. As i recall, everyone hated facebook the last time they changed the layout, but it doesnt seem to have stopped people from using it constantly now does it?

    I in simple terms received yet another one perfect this second, and it sounds stupid, besides the indisputable fact that it hurts and that i'm getting mad. i decide on to look at contacts and perchance erase some, who, i do not understand, and it probable isn't a sprint. i decide on to provide up Y/A. Then after calming down and determining that it truly is both my fault because of rules and rules I circuitously inadvertently broke, then Que Sara, Sara, in spite of will be,will be, Que Sara.
