Opera Software is a small company without the financial clout of the 
big two. I've used it since the beginning and still run it under 
Virtual PC, and like it a lot, especially as it now has full support 
for javascript. There may be a cultural thing too, the 'free 
giveaway' expectation is not so highly developed in some parts of 
Europe as it is in the USA and some other places - Opera are a 
Norwegian company. For myself, I definitely believe you get what you 
pay for. Just my view - waiting eagerly for the Mac version.

BTW the technical director of Opera is Haakon Lie who is a co-writer 
of the CSS specs.

Regards.
