Kestrel is here!

As many of you know, Opera 9.50 alpha is here. That's right, the very first preview of the upcoming new technologies Opera Software is bringing us. The features I'm using/liking right now:


- Improved mail and page index searching (my favorite new feature so far, it's like having a mini Google Desktop);
- "Open with" (should be ported to pictures and flash files!);
- Performance (yay!);
- Speed (yay again!);
- Feeds, notes, irc chat, etc.
Not using yet:
- Speed dial (buggy);
- Synchronization (tested BUT currently waiting until it's mature enough);
- Mail.


While analysing the new Opera standard skin and a few new ones, I found small problems with my Winvista skins. I will have to fix almost them all to make it compatible. Most problems happened due to the lack of a View bar (which I think it's good and will not be missed by many people).
