Opera8 realeased.

The alternative web browser opera8 is released today. Being a speedy web browser, its release always attracts me. Anyway, I downloaded it ASAP; installed it and took a glant look. Here are some feelings. Feelings: 1. The GUI has changed in some way. 2. The speed of opening a webpage is much faster than the previous version (Opera7.54u2). 3. There is a cross (close?) button on each page tab. (I didn't notice that and once closed the webpage which I was looking at by mistake...) 4. It always crash when I {Tools / Preferences / Web Pages}. Maybe it'll be fixed in the next minor upgrade. I've reported the bug back to the authority. So far not so bad (except the crash while setting). I look forward to the next bug fix. By the way... The CEO of Opera also announced that he'd "swim from Norway to the USA if the download numbers of Opera 8 reach 1 million within the first 4 days" !!(from 2005 Apr 21 press release). Let's see what'll happen...
