P.S.: At this speed, i mean, if they are still working on new 9.2x versions when 9.5 comes out? maybe the version 9.50 comes out after some new final versions, i mean, after version 9.49? are they waiting for 2008 to say it has been released on the new year? Oh please...
whats so amazing about it
ive been using it
and its not mind blowing
its a got af ew features that are nice
but what id really like to see is
1.) Aero interface similar to IE's for vista users
2.) Some sort of addon/extension support
3.) Right clickable menu's
THese 3 are important to me, and for some reason just arent there
extension support is what keeps me with firefox, just cause its got SO many features you can add
hum.... it's what some people call "security patches". These versions don't have any new functionality as you can see... they are released so that the stable release remain a secure as possible
I have all of my passwords on the wand and it's not compatible with later versions (afaik).
I don't "think" it is.. I'm pretty much sure that I'm stuck with the 9.10 vers if I want to keep my passwords.
The msi installer gives you the option to upgrade, I have had many people on our forums at KLT updating for a few years now and nobody has said anything about password compatibility and as I mentioned I have never had one or herd of such a thing.
Worst case scenario you can just save everything about opera in one move and put it back or on any other PC you like anyways.
