Dvorak Says MS Should Buy Opera
patro writes "Should MS beef up cranky old Internet Explorer for today's standards? Dvorak thinks buying Opera would be a smarter move. It works on all the major platforms including the Mac which IE won't support anymore and $400 million for it is pocket money for Microsoft."
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
(filler text to get around message filters)
Wow! That's the best idea I've ever heard. There should be absolutely no problems shoehorning it into Vista by next year. Way to go, Dvorak! You deserve a raise!
Be a real patriot: Question authority. Think for yourself. Formulate your own conclusions.
Then after the "MS Opera" release, firefox would have even less competition.
Opera can be uninstalled.
Better than even Firefox/Mozilla dare I say it.
/. blasphemy!
1. Write some code 2. Slip Dvorak some free booze 3. Get bought by Microsoft for "pocket change" 4. Move to Grand Cayman
Ehh...this is the life we chose.
Wait, I think I've figured out the pattern!Now if we can just get Google to promise not to be evil... oh, wait, my analogy is breaking down.
Five percent of one year's DoD budget puts us on Mars.
He could be their mascot, and beat up the Linux penguin and the Mac... whatever the hell that thing is in the Mac logo.

Fascinating, and, oh, look! Dvorak is little endian!
Dvorak has made a career out of spouting sensational bullshit (which even he must know is nonsense) in order to generate more hits for his site. He's one of the most successful trolls on all of the Internet.
It's easy to criticise, but when was the last time that YOU had the same last name as someone who came up with a keyboard layout? Hmmmm? Didn't think so.
That only leaves one option for Google... Buy Microsoft.
..is that he suffers from a mental illness, but for some reason has more to gain from being fired rather than retire of his own free will.
Pundits have no idea what they are talking about.
This goes double for Dvorak.
It doesn't mean much now, it's built for the future.
Yeah, well, Dvorak's named after that UNPOPULAR keyboard. I'm more mainstream, my name's Bob Qwerty!

Opera should buy Microsoft
**waits for Slashdot to pick the bait and bring some traffic**
I viewed the article using Opera, and the text ran over the advertisement on right-hand-side.
-- All your bass are below two Hz
Opera IDs itself as IE in the same way that IE identifies itself as Netscape -- and for the same reason.
Because each identifies the spoofed one as the One True Browser?
MS: "Dear Jon, we would like to hand you 400 million dollars, cash, for Opera"
Jon: "OK"
