From a purely philosophical perspective (please, try it) ... wouldn't you think if an "improvement" to software you use is unveiled, the software would require LESS from you to function, rather than MORE (be it RAM, hard drive space, a newer operating system, enabled scripts like Javascript, etc)??
To just use Yahoo as an example, the new Yahoo Mail beta isn't compatible with an older OS like Windows 98. The ~existing~ (pre-beta) Yahoo Mail REQUIRES you to have a security vulnerability like Javasript enabled in order for Yahoo Mail to function.
These new demands on the user and his/her system just seems counterintuitive with the concept of "improvement".
