It looks like Yahoo is really growing up.

Gone is the warm yet cartoonish look and feel. Gone is the focus on the various "portals" that Yahoo has focused on for so long. The new Yahoo home page layout focuses on their search bar, and ithas a sleek and modern look that looksnothing like their old cozy confines.

Its still too early to tell how the general public will react to this rather violent change, but for now, we can all take a quick look at some of the new layout features by simply visiting the homepage.

So decide for yourself if this was a step in the right direction, or simply a step backwards by visiting http://www.yahoo.com
