Opera sold to Microsoft

PulseDriver · 1st April 2005, 00:57

It sais here on an updated site 0:36 norwegian time (opera is norwegian) that microsoft bought opera software for $250 000 000.

What do ya think about that??!?!?

Sorry for this, but this link is for the norwegian page http://itpro.no/art/7685.html

I didn't find any similar article about this in english

Oh well, now only three options in the "Browser" catagory are worth using.

Mozilla
Firefox
Lynx

Don't want to ruin it, but check the date on the article.

haha, pretty well written actually, allthough 250 mio $ is a bit unrealistic

Honestly. 250 Mil. You would think they would go for Mozilla before Opera.

Or maybe they did.

mozilla is open source, I don't think it can be bought

Licensing the codebase could be bought from Time/Warner/AOL/Netscape
