I think everyone would agree Opera's participation was by far the most interesting (though less unbiassed). For one thing, Håkon Lie was the only person to get spontanious applause. You should make those kind of speeches more often, Håkon! Good video. I think everyone would agree Opera’s participation was by far the most interesting (though less unbiassed).

Will this mean that a future version of Opera will support Ogg Vorbis audio? This would be a great addition, since many Wikipedia articles use this format. PS: I am normally using Opera, but now I am forced to use IE on a public computer. They talked about “first-class video/audio citizen” and Ogg Vorbis support.

Their Yahoo TV Listings not displaying properly for months and months (on the previous design) being just one of the examples.

It'd be nice for some websites to make their video/audio work better with Opera in the meantime. It's hard to live without resorting to other browsers because of this. And, I really think this hurts Opera's ability to be the chosen/primary browser of many. As soon as a problem arises like this that other browsers handle with no problem, the tendency of many is to write-off the 'offending' browser as incompetent or buggy or some such thing---the result being Opera losing another potential convert. http://my.opera.com/haavard/blog/show.dml/797600 @Frederik: It seems that Opera (Hakon Wium Lie –Chief Technology Officer at Opera Software) is interested in wanting browsers to be non-dependent of plugins for video/audio in the near future.
