What If: Windows Live Gmail Beta

Here's some fun Monday-morning linkage for you. I enjoy anything that lets bloggers flex their creativity while poking some good-natured fun at a company like Microsoft. Over at Google Blogoscoped, they've asked a simple yet fascinating question: "What If Gmail Had Been Designed by Microsoft?"

Small mailboxes, irritating UIs, gigantic banner ads--it's all there, along with a slightly maddening step-by-step explanation, culminating in the above image of Windows Live Gmail Beta.

Honestly, I think the whole thing is improved by the addition of an animated dog. Just something to think about as you roll out Gmail 2.0, Google.
