Today, Opera Software launched the latest update to its desktop browser, Opera 6.02 for Windows, and at the same time announced its all-time high of 10 million successful downloads and installations of its Opera for Windows browser. Opera 6.02 for Windows enhances many of the existing features, boosts speed, adds new integrated searches with eBay and Download.com in the Personal bar, and incorporates several improvements to the popular Opera 6 for Windows.

Opera 6.02 for Windows also introduces an SMS (Short Messaging Service) panel, which lets users send text messages to mobile phones directly from the browser. This SMS module is currently only available in Norway, but will expand to other countries in future releases of Opera.

"Opera 6.02 is a solid enhancement to Opera 6 and improves some significant functions, fine tunes speed, usability and the e-mail client," says Dean Kakridas, VP of Desktop Products, Opera Software ASA. "We have seen the popularity of Opera for Windows, a leading alternative to Internet Explorer, grow tremendously around the world for the last year and a half, and our 10 million installed copies of Opera is evidence of this."
