Microsoft agreed to pay Opera Software US$12.75 million to head off a
threatened lawsuit over code that made some Web pages on MSN look bad,
according to CNET. Opera had earlier demonstrated that Microsoft checked
whether browsers identified themselves as Opera, and then sent them code
that made the Web page look poorly rendered.

Man, some of those boys are out of control....
