I hope this isn't the beginning of the end for my favorite browser. First they drop Solaris/OpenSolaris OS and now PowerPC architecture.

True, and I am disappointed at that to: http://my.opera.com/community/forums....dml?id=547611

"Opera for Solaris has been discontinued

In order to ensure a consistently high quality browser across our most popular desktop platforms we have reluctantly decided to drop support for Solaris. This will allow our UNIX development team to focus all of their attention on bringing Opera for Linux and FreeBSD up to final release quality, meaning that a 10.5x release for these platforms will happen as soon as feasibly possible."
