No MSN download in Opera

Go to the MSN download page with Opera and there is no Download link.

Here is how it looks in Opera:

Compare how it looks in Internet Explorer:

So apparently they don’t even want Opera folks using their Internet service.

Stupid? No doubt. Malice? Doubtful, it's most likely a PageAuthorStupid-error.

Apparently, you need to have a javascript-enabled browser to download MSN 8, since they use javascript to determine which file you need.

The code it executes if it thinks you're MSIE really is MSIE only - if I set Mozilla to identify as MSIE, the download will also be missing.

I won't miss MSN 8.
