Look, no errors.
From w3.org:

"Some people seem to think that Opera's recent legal action against Microsoft will cause relations in the CSS Working Group to deteriorate and thereby damage our group's ability to function. But neither Håkon Lie nor the Microsoft reps foresee any problems working together because of Opera’s antitrust complaint."

From Alex Mogilevsky (Microsoft):

"As far as Microsoft is concerned, I have not received any instruction to change my participation in W3C in any way because of this or any other lawsuits. Personally, I love working with Håkon and all CSSWG members... whatever Opera's intentions are, I can't imagine it involves not being interested in working together on a standard that is worth implementing. I am certainly interested and plan to keep doing that, to the best of my abilities and any time that I can afford to invest."

I think Opera just shot themselves in the foot... a LOT of people I know switched to IE due to this... I'm pondering to switch back to IE myself because of this... I mean, I like Opera and all... but I don't want to support such a business in anyway...

It WILL be a tough switch though, since Opera is a really nice browser... but I'll manage to live without it I'm sure.

FREEDOM FRIES!


Everyone who's used Opera always seems to say things like this, but I never understood it.  I tried Opera... it stayed on my computer for less than a day.  The UI was too non-standard, making it very difficult to get used to.  IE7 may have taken some liberties, but it still felt like a native application, while Opera felt like something that was poorly ported from another platform.

That's the French.

You need to be renaming Old Dutch Potato Chips to something else Wink

One thing I've noticed with IE7 is that it doesn't crash all the time like it used to when it first came out. And I have all the addins I should have removed to fix that, still installed.

This move isn't going to change anything for me as a user. The courts will decide what's right and whats wrong, or rather, what's true and what's not. Opera has the right to have their beliefs tested in court, as do Microsoft. Maybe the real problem is that you don't believe in the integrity of the justice system or in the laws themselves, "helbhelb".
