Opera is breaking out the big guns…lawyers. Today, Opera filed a complaint with the EU against Microspank.
They don’t want IE bundled with Windows, as it gives Microsoft unfair advantage in the browser war, and they want IE to comply with web standards.
Hmmmm. Don’t we all? I love Opera, they have big brass balls.
However. Is there anyone bitching about Safari and iTunes coming bundled with OS X? No? *crickets* Anyone? *more crickets*. Oh yeah, nobody cares….yet.
So big ups to Opera on getting them some press coverage, but nobody in the world can make Microsoft comply to “standards” that aren’t really standard from a legal perspective. We’ll be keeping a Geek eye on this one for y’all.
