The Second Act

And most likely the final one

Opera users around the world unite!!

This just in from the Understatement Department:

Microsoft's Internet Explorer (otherwise known as the blue "e" on your desktop computer), IS NOT a secure web browser!!

Fellow Opera users, the time is now to help our friends, family, colleagues, strangers by warning them about the risks in using an utterly insecure piece of software like IE and owing them how easy it is to switch to the more secure Opera browser.

Microsoft has been plodding along all these years sticking it to most of the world with a substandard application called IE. Now, it has come to the attention of the world that IE and Microsoft's web server software has serious flaws that make browsing with IE a big security nightmare!

Opera remains the only other commercial company that produces a more secure web browser and stands behind it's products with a professinal QA, Security and Customer Service staff. Opera responds to any and all security risks immediately and makes it the highest priority to resolve any possible issues.

Here are just some of the stories hitting the web on the risks of using IE:

Just today, Christian and I have fielded 100 calls from browser users in and around Austin wondering how to download Opera!!

We are also busy communicating with press people and agencies all over the country.

Our servers are working overtime (and a bit slower as a result of the heightened interest in Opera) providing users all over the world a better web browser to replace IE.

It's certainly a hectic way to go into the holiday weekend, and in Norway, the summer holiday season, but we will take it! :smile:

We need your help, so please take a bit of time this weekend and next week to reach out to as many people you know and let em' know that all they need to do to get around this IE snafu is go to Opera.com and download Opera- they will be glad you told them to.

Thanks all and have a very happy and safe 4th of July weekend!!

Bye Bye for now,

OperaSinger

It doesn't seem like Opera is responding to security risks immediately according to SecurityFocus Online (http://www.securityfocus.com/) and Secunia (http://secunia.com/).

Your other points are without dispute, however.

I do hope that Opera can grow in the coming days and take advantage of the clearer revelation people are getting about IE's problems.

Firefox is being mentioned all the time on these shows with only afterthought mention of Opera, if that, on these shows.
