Opera to stop spoofing User Agent as IE

In a step that should move Opera to a higher position on the browser usage statistics charts, Opera will change the default browser User Agent (UA) to identify itself as Opera – no more as Internet Explorer (IE).

I think this is a great move for the browser, gives it more identity of it's own.

Thoughts?

I agree with you. Copying another style of a browser isent a smart idea so I think it was smart to change it into there own unique identity.
