Opera Continues to differ with Microsoft

[SAMSNEED]

This is just getting flat out hilarious now. YGTBFKM.

Not really related to the conversation, but I must say that the longest acronym I've seen in a while.

[seta-san]

this is just ****ing petty.

[MrChainsaw]

Opera, you lost. Face it. Now go away.

[tuckeratlarge]

and lets not forget that opera was adware supported until recently.

[ATLien_0]

Opera is only hurting themselves more now. At this point are they trying to get their numbers up or down, because honestly this is not helping them

Three years ago is quite a bit of time...

an article in PC Pro said as the end paragraph made me laugh

:laugh:

Or... they can spell Opera backwards. The browser shall be named "A Repo!"

I'm so busting out the Photoshop when I get home.

So basically Opera won't be happy until every single reference to Internet Explorer has been complete removed from Windows and only their browser is offered?

After that they'd want all webmail sites(Hotmail etc.) blocked out of the box because otherwise no one will use their bundled email client.

:x

They will always find something to whine about...

[Kyang]

It's ok Opera, I've got you covered.

[CuCumber]

because otherwise no one will use their bundled email client.

You're dreaming buddy, I use it and it's great.

What about your whining, will it ever stop?

[webcivilian]

Do the users from EU have any say in this matter. I think EU needs E edition because these guys are never happy. Or maybe Microsoft can ship Windows 7 core edition for the EU just like they did it with Windows server. Oh wait... someone probably wants their kernel to be shipped with Windows because Microsoft is a monopoly and they have a large market share. Good luck to my EU friends.

So...what's the moral to this story about Opera?

If you can't beat them, sue them?

[guru]

Overall, however, Lie said last week that Opera was pleased with the proposal. So it looks this is more likely to be a negotiating point than a roadblock. The European Commission said last week that it welcomed the Microsoft proposal, promising to "investigate its practical effectiveness in terms of ensuring genuine consumer choice."

looks like lot of people missed this. now that there is ballot opera should just move on imo

I'm surprised no one has posted the following in this thread yet:

Opera are on the best way to lose all credibility they had. What's next - suing MS because they dare call the Windows file manager explorer.exe?

[Denis W. Veteran]

(snipped)

That actually doesn't look all that bad...

[Growled Member]

there are 12? I always thought their version number = number of users :p

So there are 9.64 users now? How did they manage the .64? :p

[MistaT40]

0.64 users are those who tried it and didn't like it

[dead.cell]

It's ok Opera, I've got you covered.

Damn, beat me to it. ><

[ViperAFK]

They are just jealous because they have by far the ugliest icon of all the browsers :p

[Dc'1]

Holy s*** Opera, STFU lol.

They take away the icons then it'll be "people will think you have to use Internet Explorer to explore the internet, change your browser name!"

[Lord Ba'al]

It's ok Opera, I've got you covered.

Hey, nice one :yes:

I think I'll use that for my taskbar icon.

[seta-san]

i would like to start a campaign.

I'm calling for everyone to localhost in their host file and in every host file they can access.

I agree with Opera, I have talk to a few people who isn't "geekly" and I know when they see IE or the IE's logo they don't think its a browser, they think it is the internet and because they think it's the internet they don't going looking for other options.

Remember this isn't just Opera, all other browsers including Google and Mozilla has join this as well, so for all you guys who are boycotting Opera, you should be boycotting Google and Mozilla as well.

So why don't you guys think about this first, before you fanboys go off and defend your company Microsoft.
