Star Microsoft To Buy Opera?
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 23rd Dec 2005 11:18 UTC, submitted by Gopal Verma
Opera Software CoolTechZone claims that Microsoft has bought Opera. "In a recent conversation with one of our insiders at Microsoft, the source revealed that Microsoft has acquired Opera Software, makers of the Opera browser. The insider reported that both Microsoft and Google were trying to bid on Opera, but in the end, the software maker took the lead. At the moment, the deal is almost through with Microsoft and Opera planning on locations for the browser's research and development centers throughout the world." Update: Opera has officially denied the rumours (thanks to Nemesis11).

RE: No sense. IE7 is almost finished

Member since:

IE7 will be just as much of a dog as IE 5 and 6. It will be what they call a "maintenance release"

Still, I agree that it makes no sense for MSFT to buy Opera. They have pretty much exitted the browser wars.
