Not that any Opera user would go to MSN.com in the first place, so this is moot. Bit fishy though- why aren't they targeting everyone else, like Netscape and Mozilla?

Well, I would expect a product built for eletronic filing of taxes to not need IE installed and working. Just an internet connection. As for MSN I dont expect them to make it work, but I still can call em fuckers.

I use Opera, but hadn't noticed it because I've been having Proxomitron spoof the User-Agent header tag to always read IE 5. Switching it off gives an utterly foobared page at msn.com (which I visit solely for my Hotmail account). About par for the course at Microsoft. I'll just continue spoofing headers.

Eh my fuckmicrosoft.com address just forwards my mail to yahoo, and I can change that if I want to. I don't get important mail though. I switched to yahoo a while ago, after switching to Hotmail because Yahoo dropped POP support. I hate webmail, but there seems to be no free POP mail left.

I'm spoofing mine as Mozilla on Linux, I'm using Mozilla on Win32, since I download lots of linux stuff on this computer since it has a CD burner. Lots of sites autodetect your OS and send you to the downloads to that OS. Download.com won't let you switch.

Typical Misco$oft shit. Since I don't use any of their shitty sites, I'm not going to get my titties in a twist over it.

Dammit I can't read German, and sending it to an online translator is tedious.
