It smacks highly of the announcers deliberately holding back on the announcement instead of helping insure the release was as free of critical bugs as possible.
Hmmmm, open source or not, Opera has proved over the last version it has less critical flaws found than firefox, and unlike firefox all were fixed. IE is useless though i'll give you that Inherently it shouldn't be generally with the open source nature, but most stuff points to Opera being more secure. But what is "more" secure really, its hard to measure, and tbh in the grand scheme doesn't really matter, so i'll get off my box
