Ridiculous
This is so ridiculous. Our good friend Håkon Wium Lie, le ci-devant norwegian CTO of Opera and Master-Keeper of the CSS Temple, falls into a conspiracy mode. It really sounds like "Mother, my older brother bothers me all the time"...
- Employees of Microsoft are not mutants with super-powers but only humans. They can do errors. They can even do big errors. Hey, some of them may even be incompetent.
- WHy do you care about MSN.com anyway ? Opera is just against Microsoft, period. Opera users should not need MSN.com. Make the site unreachable from Opera! Make it now!
- Håkon should apply at Microsoft to teach all low-level employees that when a product manager says "Opera", it's not the badly pronounced first name of a TV star. He should also teach all the product managers to stop chewing a gum and using a Kentucky's accent when speaking over the phone.
- Does Opera really need such a PR noise ? Isn't it more harmful for Opera than for Microsoft ? Most of the people around me (and most of them are not netscapers or mozillians) think this rant by Opera is ridiculous.
- You should have titled this "MSN.com considered harmful for Opera".
