Opera CTO Thinks IE Will Be Forced To Support SVG

Julie188 writes "Opera Software is, as expected, preening over the forthcoming browser ballot box feature in Windows 7. It will put the Opera name in front of millions of users who probably never heard of it. But that's not the only reason Opera is gloating. CTO Håkon Wium Lie feels that today's decision will force Microsoft to make Internet Explorer do a better job of supporting standards, particularly the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). Lie would also like to see Apple and Linux makers follow suit with browser ballot boxes of their own."

I don't like Opera

and I suspect that there are many other people out there that don't or won't like Opera either.

I have tried it a number of times, but it feels clunky compared to Firefox and it really doesn't work any better. Adobe Flash makes Opera hang just the same as Firefox.
