According to
http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-2439013,00.html

Opera has a new special version which "messes" with MSN.com, translating its
text into "swedish chef" language [1].

Apparently, this is a protest against Microsoft's insistance on creating
software that makes it easy to create broken unstandard pages that will
only work with Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and with making their own
pages deliberately send broken pages to users of specific browsers.


[1] Never heard of Swedish Chef speak? Check out:

P.S.
By the way, it's interesting to note that the reason why Netscape decided
to make Mozilla free-software was because Netscape's main businness was
servers, and people were beginning to turn away from Netscape servers
because Microsoft, with it's huge monopoly in browsers, was beginning to
invent their own web standards
 So maybe in order to stop their browser monopoly our (free software people)
goal should be to push a free server (including all the ASP,VB, and other
crap that MS developers love to use) to replace Microsoft's?
