I just one to make one point about this case clear (although I'm not
involved in it in any way). The complaint is manly about getting
Microsoft to follow accepted web standards more closely, and isn't
about money at all. I believe we (Opera) have stated that we don't
want to earn any money as a result of this complaint. Hopefully this
is not one of the cases where just lawyers win.
----------------------------------------------
No offense, but (imo) anyone who believes what you just wrote is extremely
naive. While all web developers want standards conformance (whether they
admit it or not), an industry with multiple browsers is not a healthy
industry. No 2 browsers are alike. Every browser has quirks, anomalies, and
bugs. What you (Opera) need to spend your idle time doing is coming up with
a means for web developers to deploy fixes for your bugs. Something similar
to Microsoft conditional comments. Then spend time convincing your compadres
at Mozilla and Apple to do the same thing. Once you admit that you produce
bugs, you'll have done a good deed... a noble deed. Then you can go about
suing and whining all you want. Or do you believe that your browser is
perfect?
