One thing to note, if Opera by default identifies itself as IE then why doesn't it render pages the same as IE? Why would you pretend to be a different browser and then not support the same things?

I'm not saying that its right that the MM site doesn't work with Opera, but that your quote of 10% is wildly inaccurate. It also begs the question, why does it not work in Opera? I've got the site working in IE5.5, Mozilla 1.1a and Nutscrape 4.7 crashed, but then that hardly surprising given how bad it was at pretty much everything! The only negative things I will say are (in no order of preference) : 1) why on earth is there an XHTML DOCTYPE in the site, when plainly its more likely to be html4.01 - someone's been a bit overzealous with the selection of the DOCTYPE in DWMX me thinks.... ;o) 2) It does take a little too long to Initialise, assemble and Process the content, particularly on the home page when you first visit the site. 3) Why oh why is there cgi all over the place??? MM have got 2 server technologies to show off as well as flash mx and there is no _visible_ use of those technologies on the site and the cgi files make it look like you're using perl!!!!!! Stop being a whining troll Bill and get back to CF_Community. ;oD Please will everyone else please post their _constructive_ critism through the feedback page here (http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/mm_feedback.html) as Christian politely requested before.
