Apologies if it's duplication:

Taken from [slashdot.org ]

Two weeks ago it was revealed that Microsoft's MSN portal targeted Opera users, by purposely providing them with a broken page. As a reply to MSN's treatment of its users, Opera Software today released a very special Bork edition of its Opera 7 for Windows browser. The Bork edition behaves differently on one Web site: MSN. Users accessing the MSN site will see the page transformed into the language of the famous Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show: Bork, Bork, Bork!...

Opera's official press release is at [opera.com ]

Old news, in some ways. MSN have been browser sniffing, and delivering different CSS files (if not content) since at least November '01 [webmasterworld.com]

Maybe it's my eyes but I just visited MSN with Opera 7 and it's readable!

What gives?
