Opera makes fun of Microsoft (I know, short putt)

Short Version:

When MSN detects a user coming to their site using Opera they feed a special style sheet to that user's browser making the text render improperly. If IE6 received that same special style sheet it would ALSO display the page incorrectly. So, the browser wars continue.



To fight back, Opera will display some MSN pages using the Swedish Chef's "bork, bork, bork!" in places....



Sure wish somebody would post a picture of THAT!!



here's the whole article...

    LOL!!!!! Seriously though, we really need to all rise up against Microsoft. One thing that DOES surprise me is how some people just seem to LOVE Microsoft, I mean... it's just weird. For the most part, though, I think the 95% marketshare is only there because people are either forced to use it, or they just don't know any better.

    They don't know any better. I do now. I'm purchasing my Macintosh tomorrow. I used Macs quite a bit, but never owned my own computer until this year. What a pain. Stuck with Windows... but not for long.
