My Browsers War Experience

This serendipitous thing happened years before I started using Google products (2009). I attacked 

Windows customer service in a Wordpress comment and got a careless reply betting that I'm using Google services. The obvious implication was that I'm promoting Google. He lost. I wasn't using any Google service at that time. But thanks to him I got curious about Google and started using it! Talk about fanatics ruining their own idols ha ha. Back to the present. Windows improved so much that I'm using it again although I still find that its help system is still mostly useless.

Now I just discovered that Wordpress works much better on Internet Explorer than the latest Opera 11.11. The Opera browser, instead of improving, became more problematic to use. I wonder now if Browser Wars and politics are involved.
