Office 2007 Key Opera Acid or no, its Microsoft a

Now that Microsoft has handed the Acid2 Browser test, is Opera Software satisfied? If dropping its antitrust complaint filed last week together with the European Commission could be the measure,Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, the answer is no.I asked Opera no matter if Microsoft;s announcement on December 19 that an internal Online Explorer eight develop has passed the Acid2 test meant a alter in its complaint. Opera asked the European courts to require Microsoft to alter its practice of bundling IE with Windows, too regarding compel Microsoft to create IE comply with accepted Internet requirements.An Opera spokesman delivered the enterprise;s response:“We congratulate Microsoft on the screenshots showing IE8 passing the ACID2 test. We appreciate the effort of Microsoft;s developers in this achievement.“We hope that IE8 passes the ACID2 test out of the box when it ships and we look forward to testing IE8 on all of the main Internet standards.“Our filing last week stirred many discussions on the value of Web standards. We hope IE8;s passing of the ACID2 test signals a alter in Microsoft;s heart and mind regarding their support of the standards.”Microsoft,Office Professional 2010, for its part, is saying that its decision to go public this week with plans to make IE 8 Acid2-compliant had nothing to do with all the timing of Opera;s filing. (I don;t buy that for a second, but that;s what IE Development chief Dean Hachamovitch told me.)In a response to a blog post I did questioning the wisdom of Opera;s decision to seek court intervention to enforce IE standards-compliance,Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, Opera CTO Hakon Wium Lie said:“To help Microsoft and other browser makers support standards correctly, the Acid2 check was developed and published by the Web Standards Group. When published, it exposed bugs in all browsers. The programmers of Safari,Office 2007 Key, Firefox and Opera got to work quickly and the latest versions of these browsers now pass the difficult check. Microsoft took a very different attitude and has not,Windows 7 Ultimate Key, seemingly, made any efforts to pass the check. This tells me we must do more than just ask them nicely.”So it looks like Opera;s antitrust complaint stays as is. What;s your take? Should Opera just focus on IE bundling and drop the standards piece of its complaint? Drop its complaint in its entirety? Or do you think Opera is right in staying the course?
