Tell Opera To Take A Bath

Run, don’t walk and go download the newly released Opera 8.0. Not just because its another solid browser out of the company that just never seems to get enough recognition for it, but also because of the just announced One Million Download Challenge:

An overly excited Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software, today proclaimed at an internal company meeting that if the download numbers of the new Opera 8 Web browser reach 1 million within the first four days of the launch, he will swim from Norway to the USA with only one stop-over for a cup of hot chocolate at his mother’s house in his home country, Iceland. Opera’s communications department could obviously not resist to make such a bold and inarguably over-confident statement public.

The 4th day is nearly here, so don’t wait and go download.

P.S. Hey Opera we know you’re smart, but the fancy platform sniffing when you click the download link, well, it doesn’t help give me something to link to and confidently get your Windows product.
