Starting Rumours, roadmap, opera desktop
After I was quite successful with some short term predictions about some dates for Opera Desktop I now try some much harder forecasts and present a possible Opera Roadmap for the next year. This includes Version 9.1 up to 10 of Opera Desktop (code name
Peregrine).

Halloween Hunt, Price, Competition
On Saturday an envelope with the Opera goodie-bag, some sweet Norwegian candy and a handwritten card from Espen arrived.
I think
the hunt was quite a bit of fun. See Tamil's

opera desktop, SDI, Customize
I met a guy who likes Opera but would prefer to use windows instead of tabs. The more technical name for this is SDI (
Single Document Interface) opposed to MDI (
Multiple Document Interface) or TDI (
Tabbed Document Interface, which is kind of a crippled MDI).
As Opera is astonishing customizable it is pretty easy to make Opera behave like a SDI application. But it requires to change several settings. During my research I couldn't find a somehow complete guide for this. So here is my comprehensive description to make Opera SDI-like.
Update: Shoust made a nice Custom Button that toggles between SDI and MDI, which very easily changes the settings for Open windows instead of tabs, tab bar and Middle click option (background window / background tab):

Google Gadgets, Widgets, opera desktop
I just read on
heise.de (German) that Google Gadgets can be used on webpages now. And Opera Widgets are simple webpages. Should be a perfect match.

Spread Opera, Browser War, Firefox, IE
...
From time to time I read about the question, why Opera has only little market share, although it is such an outstanding application (e.g.
Why hasn’t Opera been able to attract more users? by Daniel Goldman).
Often the given answers are technically driven, but with learning some
lessons from the Browser Wars technical aspects, even technical leadership, seems to be pretty irrelevant. Equally I don't believe that there is something wrong with the name
Opera or the logo.
In this article I'll first think about the steps necessary to become and be an Opera user. Then I look for the reasons of higher market share of Internet Explorer and Firefox. In the end I take a look for possible starting points to spread Opera.
