Okay, for all those people who say that CSS isn't widely adopted enough to be useful, and that browser support is too flakey, blah, blah, blah, and that big sites are still using tables because they don't want to risk alienating their client base...Yahoo! have redesigned using CSS (http://www.yahoo.com/beta).
According to Digital Web (http://digital-web.com/news/2004/09/yahoo_with_style/) there are some validation issues, and at the moment only IE users get the new front page by default (the above link will take all users to the CSS layout), but for someone as large as Yahoo! to make the change...well, there's no excuse now.
The home page actually looks better - less cluttered and far easier on the eye. Upgrade information here (http://www.yahoo.com/upgrade) and here's a more code-centric write up (http://9rules.com/whitespace/css_redesigns/yahoo_css_redesign.php).
