Calling all Mac users: Wakoopa & Opera
Wakoopa is a social networking site for software. You install a client that tracks your desktop application and optionally Web application usage. From this data, it aggregates usage statistics, suggest other users who like the same software as you, and even uses it’s knowledge of the network to suggest new applications you may like. Think Last.fm for software.
For some reason, Opera usage is very low among Mac users on Wakoopa. Opera is not even in the top 25 list of applications! (Unlike the other platforms where Opera is almost at the top of the lists.) If you’re using Opera for Mac and think this sounds like an interesting service: please register and help boost the popularity of Opera on Mac OS!
Or any other OS for that matter.

Hopefully we’ll get Opera up on the Mac charts by tomorrow!

No, there are devs that are using builds that are ahead of the snapshot builds, like those who are on the 11.0 branch. The Elektrans help test this stuff before it's released to the public as "snapshots" or whatever.

to be honest, I am very disappointed by Opera on Mac. In Windows, I have been using opera for 6 years. The best class.
On Mac, Opera is slower than Safari, crashes, has bugs etc....

Do you work on PCC? I am asking because Opera is certainly faster for me than Safari on my Intel MacBook 13". But I agree, most crashes and bugs have to be eliminated as soon as possible.

Microsoft's Windows live software (current version) only works on vista and up, wave 4 dropped support for XP
