Release candidate 2 is already out for Seamonkey :]
I’m really shocked by what opera did to widgets and with widgets. They’ve did something that 180 out of 200 comments do not like. and what is their reaction?
‘you are too stupid to see the big picture’.. funny, how noone else besides them see the reason to use, support or create widgets.
anyhow, given so strong opposition by opera current users, I really want to see how revolted the new ones will be.
and dont try to discuss it with opera employees, all youll get is a portion of belittlement and ‘you dont get it’ with ‘no facts’ topping.
btw. equaly pathetic is mozilla ‘apple is unfair for having a name with A’..
