For it
I've tried Opera several times, didn't care for it. I found it disorganized and unintuitive.

Google, Firefox, and others have build up market share without gov't intervention why can't opera? because most people who try it, don't like it and don't pass it along.

So screw Opera, boycot FTW!

Yes.  Gnutella | 06/15/09
Obviously, MS has used Windows to get free distribution for IE for years.  DonnieBoy | 06/15/09
Opera should market it's own products, not expect a free ride  de-void | 06/15/09
Bundling is illegal when you have a monopoly, and MS even testified that  DonnieBoy | 06/15/09
But did they say  Michael Kelly | 06/15/09
Obviously, MS is very scared of end users being offered a choice when they  DonnieBoy | 06/15/09
And yes, it would tend to imply that if MS gets no advantage, bundling  DonnieBoy | 06/15/09
Agree! I'm not going to test with it anymore.  BillDem | 06/15/09
No, the average user just uses what is pre-installed with the OS.  DonnieBoy | 06/15/09
So change the user..and..  JT82 | 06/15/09
Except that Opera was never bundled and never had an advantage. Also, for a  DonnieBoy | 06/15/09

I'll still be using Opera on Ubuntu  ingramproductions | 06/15/09
Firefox is great on Ubuntu  Tiggster | 06/15/09
I don't see the need for a boycott  Tiggster | 06/15/09
I second this!  jmiller1978 | 06/15/09
Think outside the PC  Michael Kelly | 06/15/09
Good point  Tiggster | 06/15/09
re:"..because it sucks..."  Loggies | 06/17/09

Windows Mobile uses Opera as Default browser  Maarek | 06/15/09
RE: Will you be joining the Opera boycott?  TrueFalcon | 06/15/09
I guess I boycott but only because I prefer Firefox  Randalllind | 06/15/09
I prefer Opera on WM, but poster is right  scott@... | 06/15/09
You may be perfectly right, but...  Economister | 06/15/09
Yes  de-void | 06/15/09
RE: Will you be joining the Opera boycott?  XArt | 06/15/09
MS said it best  xXSpeedzXx | 06/15/09
I'm boycotting, but not Opera...  Tony Agudo | 06/15/09
No one should be forced to distribute another product  Tiggster | 06/15/09
Doesn't have to be distributing  Tony Agudo | 06/15/09
Or a better remedy would be  Tiggster | 06/15/09
So ok..lets entertain the "ballot" screen..  JT82 | 06/15/09
Apple isn't a desktop PC monopoly  Tony Agudo | 06/15/09
Yes they are.  JT82 | 06/15/09
Nope, that's not a monopoly  Tony Agudo | 06/15/09
Hrm now the mac zealots are spouting off differently..  JT82 | 06/15/09
Red Herring  Tigertank | 06/16/09
Wrong  rbees | 06/16/09
Windows is not being crippled  soonerproud | 06/15/09
So who gets to regulate  xXSpeedzXx | 06/15/09
A thought just occured to me...  MalachiV | 06/15/09
No web browser does not mean no network compatibility.  xXSpeedzXx | 06/15/09
I think you might have mistunderstood my question.  MalachiV | 06/15/09
Easy!  InAction Man | 06/15/09
I'm sure that was a tongue in cheek response...  MalachiV | 06/15/09
The Windows ecosystem should create software repositories similar to those  InAction Man | 06/16/09
That does sound like a cool feature...  MalachiV | 06/16/09
Simple  AndyCee | 06/16/09
No boycott here. Not my problem y'know.  nizuse | 06/15/09
And Opera's failures aren't MS' problem either  Qbt | 06/15/09
Of course the problem is with Opera  nizuse | 06/15/09
If Opera is no longer relevant to this case, why care what they say?  Qbt | 06/15/09
That's because it's deemed as 'news' by the media  nizuse | 06/15/09
Oh, and it would tend to imply that if MS gets no advantage, bundling  DonnieBoy | 06/15/09
Getting an advantage should not be the issue.  Tiggster | 06/15/09
There is no Linux distribution with a monopoly, so antitrust laws do not  DonnieBoy | 06/15/09
A monopoly?  Tiggster | 06/15/09
Actually, the law is very clear.  DonnieBoy | 06/15/09
MS fear has nothing to do with it  Tiggster | 06/15/09
