Opera to receive compensation for anticompetitive practices of Microsoft
An "international company" (surely Microsoft) which has willfully made its webpage incompatible with Opera paid the european shareware company USD 12,75 million to avoid litigation.
Sylvain Perchaud, CEO of Europe Shareware and leader of software sector study project at FFII comments:
This a new, and impressive, success for Opera. I think we should say more often that we have market leaders supporting the cause of a free information infrastructure without software patents (Opera in the mobile phone market, WinRAR for compression utilities, oXygen from Europe Shareware for XML editors, etc).
