First MSN.com Controversy

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:
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
