sherl0k writes "Opera 10.0, dubbed Opera Unite, has been released. Built into the Web browser is a full-fledged Web server, complete with nifty little gadgets such as a 'fridge' that people can post notes onto, a chat room, a widget to stream your music library anywhere, and a built-in file-sharing mechanism. It also scores 100/100 on the Acid3 test." Readers fudreporter and TLS point to The Register's report on the new release and a 5-minute video demo, respectively. Update: 06/16 15:18 GMT by T: Roar Lauritzsen of Opera Software writes to point out that "release" isn't quite the right word here; though you can download it, version 10.0 is still in beta, and the version with Unite is a labs (experimental) release.

Not when the EU forces you install it by BOUND4DOOM · 2009-06-16 05:03 · Score: 1, Flamebait

You forget, Opera is one of the companies behind the EU trying to force Microsoft to install other browsers on the new operating system. So if this goes through, guess how many millions of web serving zombies will be out there by gramdma and grandpa or even your mom and dad who just bought the PC and don't know what opera is don't care and let alone it is sitting there serving web pages. I mean seriously did we lean nothing with Windows 200o default install of IIS.
