Opera Purchase Rumour Control

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday December 23, 2005 @01:24AM from the don't-believe-everything-you-read dept.

We've had several submissions this morning concerning a CoolTechZone article stating that Microsoft has purchased Opera, seemingly confirming the Dvorak article we reported on yesterday. However, roblimo has followed up with Opera and found that to be (so far), less than true. Opera PR person Berit Hanson told Slashdot by phone from Oslo, Norway, that "last week it was Google, this week it's Microsoft." She laughed and added, "If I was working for Microsoft I think I'd know it, but I'm still in Oslo, not Washington, still working for Opera." Which, of course, is not to say it won't happen ... it just hasn't happened yet.

Netscape doesn't own Mozilla, silly. Microsoft can't buy Firefox, even if it wanted to.
