Sorry guys... looks like they put it on the site this morning without the ad banner, then later put the banner back in. V 7.00 final went online today. If you're new to Opera... I like it better than IE 6.0, though some websites don't function fully with it. (So, you keep IE on your machine for when you need it.) It's better at caching, seems faster too. www.opera.com
Mine has a banner ad, downloaded it a few hours ago. Opera 6.x was horribly bug ridden, but this one seams to be fine.
Ad Banner?? I downloaded mine 1st thing this morning and it had no banner. Maybe they noticed that "mistake", and put the ad banner in?? Oh Well. PS I'd been having trouble with v7 in Beta. So, before I installed the new one, I also deleted the hidden files. There were a few that were 3 years old.
