Opera Press Releases
Opera releases "Bork" edition
The Swedish Chef Goes After Microsoft
Oslo, Norway - Feb 14, 2003

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! 

In October 2001, Opera users were blocked from the MSN site. The event
caused an uproar among Web users and MSN was forced to change their
policy. However, MSN continues a policy of singling out its Opera
competitor by specifically instructing Opera to hide content from users.

"Hergee berger snooger bork," says Mary Lambert, product line manager
desktop, Opera Software.
