Yes, but IE8 is the most recent IE version available for XP users, and IE9 is the most recent IE version available for Vista users.

XP is end of life in April 2014 and Vista has a market share like good old Opera which is the latest version of Opera for Linux users. So what?

@Krake Oops. Sorry, I wasn't aware of that.
@biggerabalone I wouldn't trust NSS Labs.

And that's not a recent thing. :right: (random find from 1997)

I beg to differ. On the desktop platform - which accounts for 72% of all page views - Vista's usage share is 4.0 %, whereas Presto-based Opera's usage share is 0.73 %. Source: http://statcounter.com Jan. 2014.

Well, at least it does have a classic menu bar that you can enable temporarily or permanently if you want, unlike Chrome and the new Opera.

I suppose we can only agree to disagree here. I consider 110 millions Vista users to be a substantial number of users.

Well thank you devs for 9 years of hard work..
However I have to switch to Chrome most of the time now to use facebook and numerous other things are becoming buggy on 12.. I don't want a Google Chrome clone, I want Opera. Why fix what isn't broken.. This is a really sad thing IMO.. I've tried the new versions, I just can't use them, too foreign and they just don't feel like Opera anymore..

You don't want Chrome so you'll switch to Chrome, yeah makes sense. Bye.

No, I use Google Chrome for the web pages that Opera 12 just doesn't work properly with. Like if I am using facebook and want to actually use the search function I have to use Chrome or else it bugs out. That along with Twitch.TV. Get off your high horse and get rid of your condescending attitude..

That doesn't change things much, you could just as well use Opera 19+ for that.

What you said first doesn't agree with what you said later. Since many pages are broken in Presto, they decided to move to the Blink rendering engine to fix those broken sites. That is true, many more sites now work in Opera Blink that did not work before. So they fixed what was broken. How about your precious FaceBook search? Does that work in Opera 19?
The other stuff, that worked well in Opera 12 or earlier, is not implemented yet, so that's not broken either. Let's wait and see if they implement some of those important features again. Meanwhile, the open in menu is there in Opera 12 or earlier to open broken sites, just as it has always been.

Actually (s)he said "are becoming buggy" (emphasis mine), on a browser that hasn't been developed for what effectively comes down to one and a half years. That's completely unrelated to what you're saying. Try using Firefox, I don't know, 12 or something (also released around April/May 2012), and see what's "becoming buggy".

No idea, but it definitely works for me in Opera 12.

After messing with the link option to fined out if you can delete all the data your self(preparing for the inevitable) i lunched o12 with a new profile and i got a popup about an update to the blink opera with a message:
(my crappy translation)
"We added new exciting features, that give you more speed, better workflow organization and more personalization possibilities..."
And i fell of the chair, i know that advertising yourself is a must... but come on, there should be a limit to what b***** you can write... -

But that's probably because it's aimed at users that are new to Opera and want to offer them the newest/latest version, because of the detected empty profile, they (the user) may have no previous history/knowledge of/with Opera, or don't know of or use m/any of the Classic features that made Opera Classic (Presto) what it is/was. So they may not actually know the difference between the two versions.
Sounds probable. Well, at least to me it does.
