Opera 9.5 has been released, beating Firefox 3.0 to the punch which is supposed to be released soon as well. The marketing speak: "Opera's cross-device expertise, support for open Web standards and commitment to speed and performance culminate to create the most powerful Opera browser yet. Making its desktop debut in Opera 9.5, Opera Link blurs the boundaries between computers and mobile phones by enabling a seamless Web experience from device to device." Get it from Opera.com.

And how can bee good when in doesn't work in my case?
Firstly, look at your screenshot; I only need to look at your bar the bottom of the screen to see that you tweak your operating system to buggery. The fact that youre the *ONLY PERSON* on this website who experiences this problem - one should look hard in the proverbial mirror and ask, "I have monumentally f*cked something in my computer to cause this problem".
Again, worked perfectly on this computer, my laptop, my brothers laptop (MacBook w/ 10.5.3), heck, my reserve Windows Vista Home Premium computer; they all worked perfectly. If in all four instances it works perfectly then one can come to the conclusion is that in yout 'fit of tweaking' - you've buggered something up.

Different configurations, different computers, different OS, different architecture, osv...
Being the sophisticated crossplattfrom piece of software that Opera is... a lot of things can go wrong!
(That's why one should do proper testing and not release a final *two* days after the final launch.)
My guess is that he was simply unluck.
A lot of people seem to hate Opera, but I don't think anyone would go that far to spread bad reputation about it.

True, but at the same time, as I mentioned in a follow up post - I tested Opera on 3 different operatng systems on 4 different machines - and couldn't reproduce what he experienced. All my stuff is as vanilla as it gets, heck, I don't even change the colour scheme or background - and everything works smoothly.
Having worked at an ISP (and thank god I don't work there any more), I've come accross all manner of butchered and bastardised machines by owners who tweaker, twirl and manipulate their machines - then wonder why all hell breaks loose.
I've see people install rubbish of all manner of backgrounds, from 'email enhancers' to 'speed boosts' - and I can tell you that when they came in, I did a clean install of Windows (or what ever the OS is) - the go, "wow! its so reliable". Yeap, its reliable because it doesn't have all that crap installed on it!

Excuse me, but how on earth can it be 'wrong' when I simply visited the website, and blam, it turned up perfectly first time. You've obviously been screwing around with your computer to get something that disasteriously wrong.
