Microsoft Sends Broken Stylesheets to Opera

An anonymous reader writes "The Register has a story that the MSN homepage serves a different style sheet to the Opera web browser that makes Opera appear to be broken. Is this deliberate or a mistake? Who can possibly say? Opera's own take on the situation can be found here." This is not the first time.

    Good thing you aren't forced to play a game that uses the zone.

    Isn't Opera the leading browser for mobile devices like cel phones? Gee, can't guess why MS would want to discredit them.

    Actually, I think it has more to do with it's a huge company, and getting Mozilla to work with their sites has got to be a low as hell priority. I mean, after all, why should they rush to fic something that affects maybe 1-2% of all browsers, with most of those people not even being their customers?!?

    No, many versions of version 6 had this problem. Read throughout this thread for more verification. I've used Opera for a long time as well and I have run into this problem myself. It has to do with lists and the extra 30px of margin it puts on the left side (instead of a "normal" indent). This is what pushes the content outside of the cells on MSN, hence the fix.
