Opera Releases "Bork" Edition

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday February 14, 2003 @01:25AM from the something-in-the-meatballs dept.

David Arnesen writes "Two weeks ago it was revealed that Microsoft's MSN portal targeted Opera users, by purposely providing them with a broken page. As a reply to MSN's treatment of its users, Opera Software today released a very special Bork edition of its Opera 7 for Windows browser. The Bork edition behaves differently on one Web site: MSN. Users accessing the MSN site will see the page transformed into the language of the famous Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show: Bork, Bork, Bork! Here you can find the press release and download link!"

First, three cheers for Opera for giving Microsoft a taste of their own medicine. Microsoft's MSN page issue with Opera is just depressing. Just another one of their scummy tactics. The giant Microsoft picking on a small company again. Reminds me of the man in a Hitchcock movie that gets his kicks out of popping a little kid's baloon with a cigarrette.
