Security update -- Microsoft worried about Opera web browser

[Mark Jurik <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I read the promo on Opera at    http://www.opera.com/press/guides/reviewer/

I bought a registered (ad free) version.  It's very impressive and very FAST. It is also strictly compliant with international internet protocol standards (IE is not). Consequently, web sites coded to look good in IE may show up differently in Opera. It appears to be the best designed browser to date. Very intuitive to use.

Not surprisingly, Microsoft is resorting to unethical tricks to discredit Opera. For example, knowing Opera is strict XHTML compliant, MS intentionally had placed code on its MSN web site to trip up Opera, then publicly blames Opera for being a poor browser. That PR tactic backfired when the truth got out. 

Users have claimed Opera is immune to the type of hacker attacks seen in IE5 and IE6. Is that true?  Any Opera users want to discuss security concerns?
