so i was reading this all the way through:

Opera casts off legacy code for speed
http://news.com.com/2100-1023-954561.html?tag=fd_top

and i found this quote interesting:

"But ultimately, Hurd [systems architect with Starphire Technologies in
Clearwater, Fla] concluded, Opera and other Microsoft competitors would
do better to support the technologies that the market-leading Internet
Explorer browser made available, rather than focusing on industry
standards."

"'What these other browser makers should do is stop complaining about
what Microsoft is doing and start supporting what Microsoft is supporting,'"
Hurd said. "'People out there aren't reading these specs; they're using IE.'"
