Opera wails about MSN problem
C|Net | at | by Mike
In the latest act of their Wagnerian cycle of malfunction and recrimination, Norse browser company Opera and Microsoft are feuding over a glitch that prevents what Opera estimates to be approximately 30 percent of its users from accessing Microsoft's MSN portal.
Microsoft denied categorically that it was intentionally shutting out Opera users. And Opera executives who have examined the problem have acknowledged that although the vast majority of affected Web surfers use Opera, the MSN problem in some cases can also stymie users of Microsoft's own Internet Explorer browser.
