Last week, the European Commission announced that Microsoft is willing to implement a browser ballot screen in Windows so that users can select a browser to install when installing Windows or when setting up their OEM computer. While this makes Opera very happy, Opera would like to see Ubuntu and Apple offer such a ballot screen too.

Did you even read what the CTO said? He nevfer said that Ubuntu and OS X should include Opera. What he said that it MIGHT be a good idea to do so because the browser is so important.
Uh huh. He said exactly what he meant and most around here seem to get why he said it. Emphasising the word 'MIGHT' in order to get around what he said is desperate in the extreme.
Facts are hard to get right, eh?
They are when you're an Opera loon.

Why are you willfully ignoring the facts? He answered a specific yes/no question. And he added that he only suggested that it MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA, not that he wanted it to happen.

Of course it matters. If you are going to be whining about Opera, you should be whining about the rest as well.

You seem to get ALL you claims factually wrong.
That's irrelevant for this case. And besides, Opera is being sold as an application platform as well. Companies like Vodafone and apparently AT&T are apparently standardizing on top of Opera's application platform.
Who owes them something? Opera never said that anyone owes them anything. And Opera is growing massively already, and doubled its profits last quarter.
This case isn't about owing anyone anything. It's about the fact that MS broke the law, and now Google, Mozilla, Opera and others are helping out in an advisory role to find the best remedy for that.
Again, Opera is just another advisor, like Mozilla, Google and others. And yet Microsoft fans whine about Opera all the time.
