Feh, turning this into a pissing competition is unneeded. Bug rates on Opera *may* be lower than those on firefox/internet explorer/safari etc. But that does help establish your point - that opera is something that needs little testing unless *those other browsers* have already been established as having bug rates below whatever threshold is considered relevant. Not that bug rates are a good indication of whether a new build of a piece of software *needs testing*. Having few reported bugs may simply be an indication that that software is heavily tested before releases :). -Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
