is Konqueror even good as a web browser?
Yep, it kicks ass (as a file manager too, and all the other stuff it can do (network folders, storge media)). I just prefer Firefox though.

I seriously prefer Internet Explorer. There is absolutely no risk of avoiding viri, adware, spyware and other malware with it and it even propagates popups. I never have to worry about accidentally removing it either.

Try Opera if you didn't like Firefox that much.

Considering the fact that Jenda is a Linux devotee, I'm pretty sure he was joking too.

Konqueror is pretty good, just like Safari is pretty good.  But damn, SeaMonkey is the fucking master, with Firefox being a close second.

If Microsoft did buy Opera, that would be a pretty good reason for me to remove it immediately from my computer.

You might have to buy a bigger harddrive, too ;)

I remember that there recently was an article about several companies which pushed Microsoft to buy Opera. Anyone remember it? I really hope they don't. Competition is good, hehe.

How would that work, though?  Opera is an early fork from the Mozilla project, right?  I'm not sure how well Microsoft's EULA would mesh with the Gecko engine.  They certainly couldn't release it under its own separate license, that would be just too darn legally weird for them - they'd have to combine it in with the rest of the OS.

Wrong ;)
Opera has been there since 1995, and Netscape began to make its products open source in 1998.
