thats crap. How do you explain that within a short time ten million
people downloaded opera? Also in many european sites it has at least
the share of Apples Safari. Maybe between 1 and 8 percent, depending
on the audience. The US was always more MS centric.
Why should a client ask that a certain web-application runs in browser
x or y? Shouldn't he ask that it runs in any browser and that the
webapp should stick to W3C standards? If I'd by a webapp from a vendor
I would certainly expect that it works in any of the modern browsers.

* MB> In an ideal world, All browsers would be fully standards
compliant and content would work equally well in all browsers. Although all
browsers have made remarkable progress in that direction, unfortunately that
still isn't always the case today. When a client, Product Manager, etc.
specifies which browsers an application should work in there are probably
two reasons:
* 1. Market share of the browser. (Opera probably has about 1% or less
as best I can tell).
* 2. Testing every browser is simply cost prohibitive.
In terms of Opera downloads, that does not necessarily translate to Opera
*users*. I have downloaded Opera on 6 machines, but I hardly ever use it.
I have it for testing purposes and for comparing browser features only.
Likewise, I have IE on every machine I have, but I only use it when a site
forces me to, or it is broken in FF which is rare now a days.
