What it is is a time-honored Microsoft tactic to diminish consumers' opinion of competing products. There's a new browser war being fought, only this time, the battleground is the mobile market, where the biggest threat to IE arguably comes from Opera, and it's very much in Redmond's interest to make people think Opera's a crappy browser that doesn't display sites correctly.

I'm pretty sure this site is official, but check out muppets.com. Does anyone know what the Swedish chef is actually saying?!

Is that Gnerd with a silent "G" or Guh-nerd in the GNU tradition.
"Gary Gnu, with all the Guh-news that's Good Guh-news." [Appologies to the Muppets]
