Opera is throwing another fit over the EU ballot screen… Seems like little Opera needs their bottle or something. I’m a fan of Opera, but come on. Their browser got a huge boost from the ballot screen. Their tactics are starting to remind me a bit of Apple. 🙂

Opera said the browser-ballot screen Microsoft introduced to Windows so users could pick a browser rather than take Internet Explorer by default is being almost completely hidden by a set of 10 IE configuration screens. Opera illustrated the problem at The Reg‘s San-Francisco, California, offices with a set of screen shots taken from a Thinkpad X31 running Windows XP SP2.
