          Leushino, do you know how to send an e-mail to Microsoft? I want to tell them what they are doing browser sniffing with Opera on Bing.

            Yes, but I cannot use that source, sidney. The only thing I can offer to you is what is available online:

            http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/

            I'm curious, though... what problem is presented via the browser sniffing?

              Access Bing with Opera and do a research, then do the same with other browser. The interface is different.

                I tried both FF and Opera and frankly, I fail to see much difference. What difference do you see?

                  Check here the screenshots. Post screenshots if you can. I will test again. Cahnge the user agent of Opera (with an extension) to see the difference

                    Not sure what to tell you, sidney. Generally an internal report should arouse their attention to this but evidently they haven't responded and Opera has not corrected things either. It's not a big deal for me since I don't really care about the differences but for those who do care like you, I can see that this would be troublesome. I'll try reporting it myself.

                      It is just a small difference but it bothers me because they are doing on purpose. Thank you!

                        sidney, I don't know that they're doing it on purpose. I'm tempted to believe that they just don't care. They're probably only concerned with the major browsers and Opera is unfortunately not in that category ... yet. I find this frustration as a Windows Phone user. Everything is written for Droid or iPhone and so we suffer neglect. Carriers here in the US won't carry top Windows phones because they believe the market doesn't warrant it. Microsoft's response (or lack of response) regarding the Bing issue is probably along the same line. But... I'll see if I can report this as well.

                          Thanks 🙂 . I don't know why but HTC One M8 was realesed with Android and Windows Phone (not dual boot) and this site made battery comparison between them, the conclusion was Windows Phone has a better hardware management. Windows phone is a great system but does not get so much attention. I use Android but I would prefer to use other.

                            I love the Windows Phone. Currently my wife and I are nearing the end of our HTC 8x contract with our carrier and we'll opt for new phones. Unfortunately, what we want (Lumia 930) is unavailable through our carriers here in NA so we'll jump over to AT&T and go for the Lumia 830 as a second-best choice for us. The HTC ONE M8 is a nice phone and I'm tempted by it but I love the camera on the Lumia phones so that's the deal-breaker for me.

                              Lumia phones are really great. Windows phone has a smooth interface that does not lag like Android (which latest versions are smoother than previous).

                                Microsoft have also now produced a fitbit band that looks interesting. If I know our son, we'll get a couple for Christmas. Then again... he may think we're too old to "get fit"... haha. You're right about the Windows OS. In my view it is the best but unfortunately it came late to the party and now is having to play catch-up to iPhone and Droid. Still... when February rolls around, we'll continue with Windows phone by getting the 830 even though my preference would have been for the 930. I've heard rumors of other flagship Windows phones coming in 2015 but so far they're only rumored.

                                  Windows phone is a great system

                                  There were any improvements regardings apps? I had (in fact i still have) a Lumia 920 and my biggest problem with it was the lack of applications and also the fact, discovered later, that some applications had (have?) limitations not seen on their Android versions.

                                    Windows phone came lately, therefor it has less apps then others systems. Limitations in apps are a app developer problem not the system.

                                      Does anyone know an alternative to Windows Media Player (except MPC-HC)?

                                          I've read once that they were caused by MS imposed limitations.
