I _really_ hope there will be no market for Opera;-) I've installed Opera five
(!!!) times here, starting with I believe 3.something, ending with 4/beta. I
_fully_ support the loud voices I hear these days: "They told they've done a
_real_ browser, but did absolutely nothing". It hangs, it fails to display HTML
correctly, it GPFs (the ONLY triple GPF I've seen this month was Opera's),
some versions also leak terribly.
IMO, Opera's success has an exact nature of M$'s one: the clever marketing
policy claiming that it's "a new type of the browser: less bloated, but only
_slightly_ less-functional, really user-friendly". It's a lie! It's like M$'s
marketing, only reversed: exploiting people's _dislike_ towards M$-like
applications. But the plain ugly truth is that it's only a marketing slogan and
_nothing_ else.

The Bat is a Delphi product and as such it will be ported to Linux _after_
Corel/Inprise finishes the port of Delphi.
