Interesting press release from the Opera folks today

Oslo, Norway - Feb. 14, 2003 - Two weeks ago it was revealed that
Microsoft's MSN portal targeted Opera users, by purposely provided 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 (http://www.msn.com/) will see the
page transformed into the language of the famous Swedish Chef from the
Muppet Show: Bork, Bork, Bork!

The broswer wars are back it seems. While I don't think Opera has a huge chance to chnage the desktop, the mobile version I have been using on the P800 is wonderful. If only the P800 didn't have so many other issues.
