And don't forget, by default Opera (Windows) id's itself as IE (and will even attempt to execute IE propriety scripts). Think of how many sites still attempt to feed browser specific pages - but only "sniff" for IE of Netscape and you will understand the reasoning.

Opera.com reports that there are now over a million downloads of their browser each month. That's not too shabby by anyone's definition.
