Following the EU investigation into Internet Explorer's inclusion in Windows, Microsoft made it possible to "turn off" Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7, by removing the executable and every mention of the browser from the system. According to Opera and Google, this is nice, but not enough.

"their desktop browser is shit and nobody likes it.
I think you are WAY off base here. Whether or not you like it doesn't mean you need to be inflamitory with such foul language. "
I agree, saying "their desktop browser is shit" is plain rude and a slap in the face of Opera devs. This is a selfish and rude behavior. It's not Opera's fault if the browser doesn't work well on his computer. It's not like every Opera user complained about the bugs he mentioned. And in any case it takes time to fix bugs (for any application).
He seems to forget all features Opera has invented, and that "non-shitty" browsers have adopted. He also seems to forget that Opera has always been a pioneer adopting and advocating web standards. Like Firefox, Safari and Chrome, Opera is a nice little browser that deserves more attention.

While I don't agree with requiring MS to include other browsers (I think just being able to remove it is plenty sufficient), I think you are WAY off base here. Whether or not you like it doesn't mean you need to be inflamitory with such foul language. Personally I have been a quite happy Opera user for many years now (tabbed browsing before any other major browser, integrated BT client, etc.).
