First MSN.com Controversy
On October 24, 2001, Microsoft blocked users of browsers other than Internet Explorer, including Opera, from accessing MSN.com. Microsoft Internet Explorer users were not affected. After cries of antitrust behavior, Microsoft lifted the restrictions after two days. However, as late as November 2001, Opera users were still locked out from some MSN.com content, despite Opera's ability to display the content if MSN.com were to serve it.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
