There was a point in time that I thought Dvorak was an "industry insider" who had a unique perspective on technology and its impacts. Over time he's become less and less connected and as a consequence less and less relevant.
Microsoft is a business and ultimately they invest their money when they believe they are going to get a good return on their investment. Purchasing Opera, beyond any anti-trust concerns, does not seem like a marriage of companies that would thrive. The cultural differences between them are likely large. This also assumes that Opera wants to be purchased although in the end everything is for sale if the price is right, I guess.
