Yes, and go here and use the code and you can get a free license for it. (normally $39).

w00t. I hate the Opera adverts, but IMO, it's still not a patch on firefox.

Re: Opera 8.0 Released
I used to like Opera until firefox came out. Now i Just dont see the point of using opera with the big advert or paying for it.
It was still good though !!

Re: Opera 8.0 Released
You can change it so there is only a small 1 line advert instead of a larger one.
You still get more screen space with the new layout than Firefox or IE even with the adverts.

It's still takes up room, which could be used for something else. The ad bar is about the same size as the bookmarks toolbar on FF.

Sorry, I may be  with this, but...do mean space to display the web page on your screen?
Just that with the way that I've got my toolbars in FF, they are uncluttered and I manage to fit in more stuff which is useful to me than to advertisers.

Re: Opera 8.0 Released
The thing is, when your two main competitors are free, you'd better have a damn good bit of software if you expect people to pay for it.
And Opera's not bad, but it's not worth paying for.
