Microsoft has agreed to pay Opera Software $12.75 million over a lawsuit in which the Norway-based company alleged that pages on MSN website were purposely made to look bad in the Opera Web browser.

This is yet another settlement the software giant has reached after a long and painful campaign seeking to simplify its business by clearing up potentially damaging legal claims.

    agreed. this is so rediculous. MS can do whatever they want with THEIR product and THEIR website. I'm thinking I will start detecting opera in my sites and not allowing any one who uses to view my pages... bunch of whining bitches.
