So Thom Holwerda, what about the fact that Opera never sued Microsoft?

What Opera did was to ask the EU to investigate Microsoft. It was an antitrust complaint, not a lawsuit. Opera isn't going to make any money from this or anything like that.

And besides, it was this antitrust complaint which caused Microsoft to change its mind and default to standards mode in IE8.

So I don't get the drawing. It's pointless. And it's very old news by now anyway.

And finally, Opera is doing well financially. It's profitable, has a large pile of cash, and desktop revenue alone grew from between 50 to more than 100% last year. So again, I don't get it. Your drawing is basically failing on all levels...

If it was a total failure it wouldn't have made you so defensive.

Soulbender, the funny thing is, even, that the comic doesn't even *mention* Microsoft. Someone in the comments did.

People are predictable.

False.

It is a total failure, and I am pointing that out since a lot of people seem to think that the drawing is based on reality rather than a huge misunderstanding.

Pointing out failures doesn't mean that the failure stops being a failure.
