    Yeah, it doesn't work if you go "Check for updates" - just click on the Mentalness of Trousers linky thingy.

    So.
    I installed it, but didn't feel anything. Where's the buzz?

    Oh - and it still fucks up the look of my documentation, but at least the javascript behaves now.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Opera's up to version 9.5 therefore has to be better than IE & Firefox.

    Installed it just now. Awesome.

    I've just installed 'FoxyMusic' which connects with iTunes and puts a menu bar on the bottom browser for listening to tunes while surfing, and put the Zune Theme on to match the desktop.

    Awesome program.

    Opera has been better than FF for years - admittedly they have been closing the gap in the last year or two though.

    However, FF is still pantloads better than IE.

As a systems admin, which would you prefer: people getting redirected to Diet OWA is they're using FF / Opera / Safari, etc. or getting 100 support calls a week claiming that OWA's broken?
