9.50 Build 9864 Beta (Mar 29, 2008)
Fast and reliable. Better than previous versions. It allows downloads to go on even when you close Opera. Tried on different OS, it works even on Win98. I love it.
2.0.9.1640 (Mar 25, 2008)
Very good, as all the precedent versions. Tried on different OS, an excellent surprise: this version is valid again for Win98.
1.8.0.441 RC1 (Feb 27, 2008)
An excellent lot of programs. I've used it for many years. In fact I only use 5 of the many options and never any of the others. I would suggest to the developers, if I'm allowed to, to give the buyer the possibility to install the desired features and not inevitably the whole lot. BTW they may consider the possibility of making it freeware, but they have also the right to sell the fruit of their efforts as any other people.

There's already a strong resistence against what in the words of the European Commision is an "abuse of dominant position in the market". More than 70 % of users have resisted and keep using XP, and many banks, governements and big corporations are already using Linux for their servers or keep using Windows 2000. This time Microsoft has not all cards in their hands.

@ tontito: "I think this is an illegal and unfair way..."
Not illegal. But not taking into account the wishes of the appalling majority of customers, using all kind of tricks to force them to throw away their present hardware on one side, and to buy a preinstalled and increasingly more and more bloated software to do the same tasks that they are doing now when they buy the needed new hardware on the other side, is not exactly a moral virtue.

That's an old wound. Many people felt forced to upgrade against their will.

An old proverb says: "The ignorance of the hare is the treasure of the hound".

Microsoft should be proud of their XP and protect it. I find no real reason to "upgrade" or to move towards Linux.
