Those pricks at Microsoft have a different version of the msn homepage for
Opera users. Less content, and the page is made to appear broken. Here's a
Slashdot thread, a
Register story, a
ZDNet story and
Opera's explanation.
In other news, I signed up for an MSN account, so that some Animal Crossing kid could send me some files via the very bloated MSN Messenger. This required signing up for a Passport/Hotmail account. I've never used the mail account (and I mean, like, never even gone to the appropriate page), yet I'm getting spam sent to it.
And, in very vaguely related news, I just learned that Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry did a
Windows 95 instructional video. It's probably the best movie a male Friend has ever done. It's in Amazon's catalog, but unavailable. And there was one on Ebay recently. The winner bid a buck. Dammit.
