Hi, Couple of weeks back I had posted abt the MSFT effort of making the new version of Opera web-browser severely malfunction on their MSN homepage. Following the uproar, MSFT now allows access to Opera 7 users, but still continues to target and send users of earlier versions a broken page.
Now Opera has hit back in style by releasing their "Bork" edition (Opera 7.01 for Windows in Bork). This version works properly on every site but MSN. The "special" version browser turns all the words into the language of the Swedish chef from The Muppet Show. The Bork edition, is available for download [1] from the Opera site. Mary Lambert of Opera said, "this is a joke. However, we are trying to make an important point. The MSN site is sending Opera users what appear to be intentionally distorted pages. The Bork edition illustrates how browsers could also distort content."
