New a huge market Microsoft dearly wants to dominate.
a huge market Microsoft dearly wants to dominate.


Doesn't that seem to apply to ANY market that has US$100M(+-$100M) in sales per year?

I'd think the hydra that Microsoft has become is leading it into having to many heads to feed. Next you know they'll be feasting on that good looking foot over there... which doesn't seem to be attached to Microsoft in anyway... but it is.

New Probably. But this one is a little special.
The mobile phone market is not only a market that Opera is wiping the floor with Microsoft, but a market that is actively keeping Microsoft out. All the big players have deliberately turned their backs on Microsoft.

Opera also has a reputation for being responsive and open. Their bug reporting team are quite good, so it's not that surprising they have gotten on top of MSN's tricks this quick. And reported it very loudly. Slashdot even obliged by linking to an old CNN story when MSN did it last time.

Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
