Saw something on TV last night about Opera so I downloaded and installed it to give it a try. Really nice web browser, just a few quirks when you go to some microsoft pages as I've discovered today. ;)

The Swedish Chef Goes After Microsoft
Oslo, Norway - Feb 14, 2003
Two weeks ago it was revealed that Microsoft's MSN portal targeted Opera users, by purposely provided them with a broken page. As a reply to MSN's treatment of its users, Opera Software today released a very special Bork edition of its Opera 7 for Windows browser. The Bork edition behaves differently on one Web site: MSN. Users accessing the MSN site will see the page transformed into the language of the famous Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show: Bork, Bork, Bork!
A little discussion at Slashdot here.

If you have Opera take a look at this page.

If some of the text is missing hit F12 then select "Identify as MSIE 6.0" then hit reload. :eek: What happened!? It magically works now. :cool:
