Slashdot reports that Opera has released a special edition of their browser: the Bork edition: "Two weeks ago it was revealed that Microsoft's MSN portal targeted Opera users, by purposely providing them with a broken page."
The Opera press release explains further the purpose of the special edition:
The Bork edition behaves differently on one Web site: MSN. Users accessing the MSN site will see the page transformed into the language of the famous Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show: Bork, Bork, Bork! . . . "Hergee berger snooger bork," says Mary Lambert, product line manager desktop, Opera Software. "This is a joke. However, we are trying to make an important point. The MSN site is sending Opera users what appear to be intentionally distorted pages. The Bork edition illustrates how browsers could also distort content, as the Bork edition does. The real point here is that the success of the Web depends on software and Web site developers behaving well and rising above corporate rivalry."
I have to hand it to Opera for their sense of humor in making their point! Maybe they should have called it "Opera for Windoze" while they were at it :)



Re: Opera Releases "Bork" Edition
I was just thinking that I need Mozilla 1.2.1 "Bork Edition." Would be a nice show of solidarity if Mozilla, Safari, etc. would release one of their own :)

For those who don't have the time/inclination to dowload opera, v.bork, a slashdot user has posted a screenshot. Pretty funny stuff...
