Internet & Networking As you all undoubtedly know, the European Union and Microsoft are trying to work out some sort of a settlement regarding the Internet Explorer case. Microsoft made a very detailed proposal for a browser ballot screen earlier this year, and the EU was relatively satisfied. Now, various browser makers have told Reuters that they are not satisfied with Microsoft's proposal.

which is letting Opera code up the ballot as they see fit, and you, who are on Opera's side, get mad and accuse me of trolling? What better solution, from Opera's perspective, would there be than letting Opera handle the ballot? You know what? I don't think you want a solution, you want the "issue". No matter what solution is presented, you (and Opera) will reject it simply in order to keep the "issue" "alive".

BTW, if "restoring competition" is the issue, then that'll never happen as far as Opera is concerned. They can get the EU to handcuff Microsoft all they want, but they still can't even compete with Firefox, Chrome, or Safari. What's next, they sick the EU on Mozilla, Google, and Apple?

What on earth are you talking about? I SPECIFICALLY pointed out that Opera has no authority to do anything.

No one ever said that Opera should handle the ballot. Why on earth are you making up this crap?

No matter what solution is presented, you (and Opera) will reject it simply in order to keep the "issue" "alive".

Why are you whining about Opera all the time? It's EXTREMELY dishonest of you to only talk about Opera when the fact is that the other browser vendors are equally dissatisfied with Microsoft's suggestion, and have written a lot about it.

BTW, if "restoring competition" is the issue, then that'll never happen as far as Opera is concerned. They can get the EU to handcuff Microsoft all they want, but they still can't even compete with Firefox, Chrome, or Safari.

I have no idea what you are going on about. This is not about Opera. Why do you keep trolling about Opera?
