[edit] Version 5.12
I like version 5.12 the most.The changes after 5.12 made it too cludgy and more catch-all websuite,much like firefox. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.94.137.195 (talk • contribs) 19:41, 1 December 2006

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Opera 3.62.png
Image:Opera 3.62.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

As of 14feb10, Opera 10.10 for Windows no longer officially supports Win9x:[1]
"Minimum configuration for Opera:
- Windows 2000 on a Pentium II
- 128 MB of RAM
- 20 MB of free disk space
Although Opera may run on older hardware and older versions of Windows, it will be less usable. If you are using such hardware or software, you may be better off installing a legacy version of Opera."
Older versions of Opera are briefly discussed at http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/601/ and made available at http://arc.opera.com/pub/opera/ but with no guidance about which versions to use with which versions of Windows.
Old versions are also available at http://www.oldapps.com/opera.php but again without accurate guidance about which versions work well with which versions of Windows -- they incorrectly state that Opera 10.10 works with Windows 98. It may in fact work, but is no longer officially supported.
When did Opera drop official support for Win98? What is the last version that officially worked with Win98? What is the best version of Opera to use with Win98SE?
It is unfortunate that the WP Opera History article does not include a more detailed and accurate version history. -96.233.30.113 (talk) 13:49, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
