Opera denies MS takeover rumors

With rumors swirling that Microsoft was about to acquire the company - and some sites even claiming that the deal was done - Opera Software has issued a firm denial, saying that the company has "not been bought, and we have not received any offers." So, there you have it. Though, I somehow suspect that Opera would be more than happy to accept an offer (though I don't think one will be forthcoming from Microsoft; the company has invested a little too much in IE7 to abandon it at this stage).
