Submission + - Opera starts throwing rocks at Microsoft (daniweb.com) 1

Submitted by
An anonymous reader writes: http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry1884.html Opera has filed an official anti-trust complaint with the European Commission against Microsoft over the Internet Explorer browser. Essentially it argues that Microsoft are a big bunch of unfair bullies and life is really unfair and Oopera should be the biggest browser. Of course, those sitting back and looking at this from a distance might suggest Opera look at the reasons why Mozilla Firefox has done so well and soaked up such a large chunk of market share, and possibly learn some lessons there instead of just throwing rocks.

From their press release: "The complaint describes how Microsoft is abusing its dominant position by tying its browser, Internet Explorer, to the Windows operating system and by hindering interoperability by not following accepted Web standards. Opera has requested the Commission to take the necessary actions to compel Microsoft to give consumers a real choice and to support open Web standards in Internet Explorer.""

A Talk With Opera CEO 229

Posted by ScuttleMonkey from the making-new-boxes-to-think-outside-of dept.
With several new areas of expansion for Opera The Register took a few minutes to talk to Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner. The interview addresses several of the most recent news items on the Opera front including, the adoption to Nintendo's Wii console, several advocates switching to Firefox, and others. "We just try to focus on our side. We've always focused on a somewhat richer interface. We've had a lot of negative comments ourselves over the years; for example, when we introduced tabbed browsing a lot of people said it doesn't make sense. We've introduced things like zooming, mouse gestures and the like - and we find they find their way into other browsers; tabs found their way into IE7. We are being copied, but we would like to focus on features and giving users a good experience."

It's a naive, domestic operating system without any breeding, but I think you'll be amused by its presumption.
