Hi, The Microsoft's prime web real-estate MSN is serving a different cascading style sheet (CSS) to users of the Opera 7 web browser. This isn't something that is wrong in itself, except for the fact that it is making the Opera browser look broken.
Opera Software (), the Norway based company behind the Opera web-browser has accuses MSFT of "deliberately engineering the MSN home page in order to make it look as if the Opera browser has a serious flaw in it". Opera Software has also released the results of its investigation which claims to prove this. For the complete story as published in The Register -- http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/29219.html Incidentally, MSFT & MSN has a history of trying to stop people from using Opera web-browser (see http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/22441.html) & "MSN lockout stirs antitrust rumblings" -- http://news.com.com/2100-1023-274998.html The investigation report published by Opera Software ("Why doesn't MSN work with Opera?" -- http://deb.opera.com/howcome/2003/2/msn/) said "First, for the user it looks like Opera7 has a serious flaw so that many lines are partially hidden. Second, the page shows less content than users of Microsoft's Internet Explorer (MSIE) see." The above URL clearly mentions that while the older versions of opera did not face such a problem, it is the newest version that is facing this "discrimination". --indra -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
